Seymour Library is partnering with HistoryForge to create an interactive web environment which uses census records and historic maps to explore the history of Auburn in the early 1900s. We are looking for volunteers to help transcribe census records as part of this project. If you are interested in joining our effort, please fill out the volunteer application form. If you have any questions, contact Mary Lovell, Project Coordinator for Auburn HistoryForge at mlovell@seymourlib.org with the subject line: Auburn HistoryForge.
