We meet on the first Thursday of every month at 4PM. Most meetings feature a presentation from a CVHR member or outside guest, followed by questions and discussion. Typically, meetings are held at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center in downtown Charlottesville, however occasionally meetings are held virtually via Zoom.

- Virginia Emigrants to Liberia with Jane Aisles and Deborah Lee
October 3, 2024
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.
October 3 at 4 o’clock IN PERSON at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center
