I am working as an independent contractor to help proofread, transcribe, add metadata and markup tags, and to help digitize letters and speeches by the great Black abolitionist Frederick Douglass. These documents will be published as part of the Papers of Frederick Douglass Digital Edition.

I was in charge of all digital components of the Nau Civil War center, including our website (http://naucenter.as.virginia.edu/), Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/NauCivilWar/), and Twitter account (https://twitter.com/NauCivilWar). I also managed our Center's digital projects. "Black Virginians in Blue" examined the lives of Virginia African American men from Albemarle County who served in the Union army or navy during the Civil War.

I also assisted our center's director with an upcoming project looking at Confederates paroled from Lee's army after its official surrender at Appomattox Court House, VA.I performed a variety of administrative and management tasks including supervising student interns, overseeing our project grant, event planning, and purchasing subscriptions and supplies for our office and events.My official title through UVA's HR department was "Special Assistant to the Nau Center Director."

As an employee from June 2009 to January 2011, and then as an editorial assistant from January 2011 to August 2011, I worked on two projects under the direction of Director Susan Perdue. The first was the pilot project for Founders Online Early Access. I was responsible for helping to proofread and transcribe historical documents in XML. The second project was a collective biography of the Founding Era of the United States called People of the Founding Era. We data mined biographical information from existing documentary projects on UVA Press's Founding Era Collection website. We then did additional research to discover missing life data about individuals from this period while also linking them to other people in the database based on family, occupation, and other connections.
