Douglass Day at Rowan University

Douglass Day is a hands-on digital humanities event that marks the birthday of Frederick Douglass, the renowned African American abolitionist, writer, reformer, and statesman. Each year, thousands of participants come together across the world to transcribe documents and create freely accessible online materials to teach and learn about Black history.

This year, a team of volunteers from Rowan University will transcribe documents from the African American Perspectives Collection at the Library of Congress. All are welcome to participate (bring your own laptop), and lunch will be served. No prior experience is necessary. The team will convene in Bunce Hall.
