About the Project

The Bureau of Refugees, Freemen, and Abandoned Lands, often referred to as the Freedmen’s Bureau, was established on March 3, 1865. The duties of the Freedmen’s Bureau included supervision of all affairs relating to refugees, freedmen, and the custody of abandoned lands and property. These documents come from the Records of the Superintendent of Education for the District of Columbia, Series 7: School Reports . Please help us transcribe these records to learn more about the experiences of formerly enslaved men and women during the Reconstruction Era. Have questions about how to transcribe tables in these documents? View special directions here.
