The Oregon Genealogical Society was recently donated a family bible belonging to the Alexander Erskine Scott family, whom they soon discovered was from the West TN area, specifically Hardeman and Madison Counties. Because they were unable to find a connection for the family to Oregon, they are looking for a family descendant to return the bible to. The following scanned pages have substantial family data. If this is your family, please contact the TN Genealogical Society at (901) 754-4300 for further info. 

It's been just 100 years since women were given the right to vote as a part of their fight for equality. Lucy Stone, the first woman to earn a college degree in Massachusetts, dedicated her life to battling inequality.

The Library of Congress is looking for assistance in transcribing over 200 years of her family's documents to make these documents searchable and accessible and YOU can help from home while social distancing and helping to flatten the curve against COVID-19. Can you imagine the stories you may come across?!  It's a great project for older teens to help with too!

It's easy to while away the hours inside your apartment watching feel-good shows or trying to make headway on some spring cleaning, but if you're looking to do contribute something, the Library of Congress will have you.

The federal cultural institution is asking for help in transcribing thousands of significant written and typed documents, from Rosa Parks' writings to personal writings of the leaders of the Women's Suffrage Movement and more.

If transcribing Rosa Parks's writings, you'll find that she was loving, compassionate, and nonjudgmental in the relationships that mattered most to her, according to the Library of Congress.

You can also explore the papers of leading suffragists such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Anna E. Dickinson, read through letters to President Abraham Lincoln or transcribe historical legal documents written in Spanish.

You don't need to sign up to try it, you just type on the page next to the document. When you're ready to submit, tag it with keywords and then sign up to edit your text.
​
So if you're up to both learn and help further society's understanding on a historical event or leader, now's your chance to contribute.
