Interested in Data & History?

MORAVIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Bethlehem is seeking volunteer help to index historic church registers in an online database. This requires volunteering on-site and having some experience with a computer. Church registers that date back to the 1700s and later, this database will include baptisms, confirmations, marriages, burials, ordinations, and removals will be used. It is the first big step in making the contents of these registers accessible to users across the world! Help us preserve history one name at a time!
