Be a Part of History: Become a Citizen Archivist

  • DeKalb Public Library 309 Oak Street DeKalb, IL, 60115 United States (map)

Interested in the JFK assassination records? What about federal records about UFOs? The National Archives needs help transcribing original documents to make them easier for the public to access. Learn how to decipher cursive and create keyword tags in a short presentation before getting hands-on experience in contributing to the transcription process. 

Creating a login using two-factor authentication for the National Archives will be required to contribute.

This program is limited in spaces and is first come, first served. Laptops will be provided. All ages are welcome. It is part of the America 250 initiative; celebrating our nation throughout the year.

For questions and more information, contact Emily at emilyk@dkpl.org or (815)756-9568 ext. 6106.
