APPLICATION REQUIRED for new volunteers – We need to do some behind-the-scenes prep-work for each session! \nWhat We’ll Be Doing \nHelp build the HistoryForge database for Tompkins County! We hold community transcription sessions twice a month on Saturdays from 11-1. In 2023 we will be working on the census records 1950 & 1870\, as well as for the Town of Caroline (1880-1950)\, and Trumansburg (1880-1950)! \nTo help with our behind the scenes processing of volunteer materials\, please complete the volunteer form at least 4 days before the session. \nComplete Volunteer Application \nHistoryForge is a digital mapping and transcription project from The History Center in Tompkins County. We need help digitizing information from the 1940 Ithaca census to add to our HistoryForge database! Volunteers will read through the handwritten census notes from 1940\, re-type/and or scan information about individuals\, buildings\, and businesses from that time period. \nYOU WILL NEED: A laptop or desktop computer\, stable internet connection. We have a limited number of volunteer laptops available. \nAbout HistoryForge \nHistoryForge is a digital history project from The History Center in Tompkins County which combines historic maps and photos with census records of the people who lived in Ithaca\, creating a way to visualize the history of Ithaca in the early 1900s. Learn more about the project here and the start of our database creation. \nNot available Saturdays but interested?\nContact Eve at HistoryForge@thehistorycenter.net \nThe HistoryForge project has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom. \nThe HistoryForge: Mapping Census Data to Visualize Local History grant was awarded in 2022-2024 through NEH’s Digital Humanities Advancement Grant program. The project was also selected to receive funding through NEH’s A More Perfect Union initiative. \n.\nLAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT\nThis project is digitizing post-colonization records of Tompkins County\, which is located in the traditional and contemporary lands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫˀ Nation (often known by the mispronunciation Cayuga)\, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
