Researching Slavery in Court Records

Curious about the history of enslaved African-Americans in Fairfax County? Heather Bollinger, assistant archivist at the Fairfax Circuit Court Historic Records Center, will present how they are creating a slavery index from county records.

The Burke Historical Society is pleased to continue our research seminar into 2017! From 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each even-numbered month, we’ll host free classes at Burke Centre Library, each covering a different technique or avenue of historical research.

Registration through the library’s website is required and opens two weeks before each class. To register, go here, click “Calendar View,” and click “Burke Historical Society Presents:” for this date.
