ACRL-MD will be hosting a virtual drop-in session for this year’s Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon on Wednesday, February 14th from 12-2PM!

Every Valentine’s Day, we invite you to a birthday party for Frederick Douglass. Although Douglass never knew his birthdate, he chose to celebrate every year on February 14th. We celebrate this date as a moment for creating Black history together.

This year, the group is transcribing the general correspondence of Frederick Douglass from the Library of Congress with over 8,731 pages to transcribe! No transcription experience is required.
