The Black Women's Diaries Project is now on Facebook!

Led by W&M Libraries 2024 Faculty Scholar Jennifer Putzi, the Black Women's Diaries Project is a digital humanities archive of transcribed and annotated diaries of 19th‑ and early 20th‑century African American women.

🗓 Monday, August 31st at 6:00 PM; virtual event

This month, W&M Bray School Lab genealogist Elizabeth Drembus turns a spotlight on the records and the work of the Library of Virginia, specifically the library’s ongoing project “Virginia Untold: The African American Narrative.” Elizabeth welcomes Lydia Neuroth, Project Manager of “Virginia Untold” and Elle Kim, Part-time Project Archivist (and former Bray School Lab intern) as they discuss this incredible project and share their ongoing work to digitize records that document some of the lived experiences of enslaved and free Black and multiracial people in the Library of Virginia’s collections.

These records are an extremely valuable source of information for family historians and have provided important evidence for the Bray School Lab’s genealogical research of the students who attended the Williamsburg Bray School. All are welcome!
