Sally - Governor Kaine's office released a press release yesterday announcing that "Virginia Will Lead the Way in Digitizing African-American Historical Information." We are the first state in the nation to participate in this project that will include digitizing the Freedmen's Bureau records. For more information you can go to the Governor's website at www.governor.virginia.gov or contact the Black History Museum Executive Director Stacy Burrs at (804) 780-9097 or www.blackhistorymuseum.org.

Good morning! A photo caption in The Washington Post this morning mentioned that Virginia was going to computerize records of black people for the years after the Civil War. That was it, no more information! Does anyone know anything about this, or where I can find out more about this? Thanks!
