Help transcribe the papers of author and patriot Mercy Otis Warren (1728–1814), held by the Massachusetts Historical Society. The collection includes her correspondence, dramatic writings, and poetry, offering insight into her views on the American Revolution, relations with England, and the formation of the new government.

Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop; a limited number are available on site.

Registration is requested.

Unearthing History, One Page at a Time is a collaborative transcription series where volunteers convert historical documents into searchable digital text, supporting researchers, genealogists, and the preservation of history for future generations.

Celebrate the 25th annual Communities of Light with Younity (formerly Womanspace) on Monday, October 26, beginning at 5 p.m.

Each year, thousands of luminaries glow along sidewalks, driveways and storefronts across Mercer County, creating a countywide display of hope and solidarity during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Communities of Light raises awareness and critical funds to support victim-survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their families.

Individuals, businesses, schools, faith communities and community organizations are invited to purchase luminary kits, host a lighting or attend a local lighting ceremony.
