Virginia Historical Society Workshop on New Slave Name Database

During Black History Month, attend a free workshop in Alexandria to learn how to use Unknown No Longer: A Virginia Slave Name Database. This free database is the latest step by the Virginia Historical Society to increase access to its varied collections relating to Virginians of African descent. 

At this workshop, Dr. Lauranett Lee, Curator of African American History, and Paige Newman, Assistant Archivist, will highlight some of their research findings and provide tips on how to navigate the Unknown No Longer database.  This workshop is currently the only one offered in Northern Virginia.

Reservations are required, and space is limited. Register online at www.vahistorical.org/news/unlworkshop_registration.htm.

This event is co-sponsored by the Office of Historic Alexandria.
