Events
We host Making History volunteer sessions twice a month through HandsOn Greater Richmond, a local hub for volunteer opportunities. Each session will include an introduction to the Library, historical background about a collection, and a website demonstration to help volunteers get started. We will use either the Library of Virginia Collections on From the Page or our historical newspaper database, Virginia Chronicle. Volunteers may work independently or in teams and are encouraged to ask questions. Each event will conclude with a brief discussion.
2023 Making History Volunteer Sessions
If you would like to host a volunteer event, we can schedule these for any group of twelve or more volunteers. For in-person sessions, our Computer Classroom has sixteen workstations. For virtual sessions, group size usually ranges between fifteen and thirty volunteers. Contact our team to schedule an event at makinghistory@virginiamemory.com.
