Help us log and map the racial covenants in Albemarle County's property records!
As part of the Mapping Cville project, we have currently gone through 70% of the racially restricted properties. With each logged record, we get a fuller map of just how widespread racist housing practices were in Albemarle County between 1890-1968.
We provide all the training you need, and within no time you'll be helping us log the details of these property records. Each record takes about 10 minutes to go through, so there is no time commitment. You can help for 10 minutes, or for 4 hours—every one is enormously valuable!
For more information or to help us, please contact Jordy Yager, the Director of Digital Humanities at the JSAAHC, at localhistory@jeffschoolheritagecenter.org
