  1. Hi—
    The URL given for the Jefferson School Oral History Project does not work. Inputting this URL: http://ppiedmont.squarespace.com/projects/2009/12/2/jefferson-school-oral-history-project.html
    yields:
    No Such Website
    The website you requested does not exist.

    I tried a few different permutations, such as removing the initial “p” (since “ppiedmont” at the beginning looks like a typo); tried removing project name and removing “piedmont” from the beginning; all got the SAME result.

    Is there a more current website hosting this project? Might it be now resident at the Jefferson School African American History and Culture Center in Charlottesville, VA?

    Or is my next step to contact the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society (the stated Repository)?

    Thanks for any assist you can offer!
