Celebrate Black History Month With NARA

Thanks to WCGS President-in-Training, Monique Bunch, for sharing the email that she received from NARA.

The National Archives is featuring so much content for Black History Month that it will take a while to browse through it all. Luckily, we have a rainy Saturday morning just perfect for the task.

NARA introduces new feature - Treaties Explorer

 From NARA:

Hundreds of Native American treaties have been scanned and are freely available online, for the first time, through the National Archives Catalog. Also, in partnership with The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC), these treaties and extensive additional historical and contextual information are available through Treaties Explorer.

NARA is also appealing to citizen archivists for assistance in transcribing the treaty documents to make them more searchable and accessible.  

View the NARA post here for full details.

Update:  Here is a Smithsonian Magazine article about the new feature.
