The new Virginia Emigrants to Liberia website, launched last fall with a relational database derived from manuscript ship lists, contains data on more than 3900 emigrants, white colonization supporters, full citations, and links to hundreds of illuminating letters and other documents. Content developers Deborah Lee and Jane Ailes will give a tour of the website, demonstrate ways to use it, and relate engaging stories of Virginia emigrants documented therein.
