Details
HistoryForge is a collaborative digital project between the university and the local community where volunteers transcribe census data to create an open-access interactive map of Binghamton's past. By mapping census data, HistoryForge makes the area's history more accessible to its residents and produces a database at an individual-level that creates opportunities for future research of the local area. Students and volunteer transcribers will gain hands-on experience working with primary source documents and contributing to a digital history project.
