Transcribe Historical Penmanship

[Erica McPhee]

As member @Zivio alerted us, there are several opportunities to transcribe historical documents for the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, and others. This thread is to create a clean link to these opportunities.  See original thread here: Historic Penmanship Volunteer Opportunities


Smithsonian

National Archives Citizen Archivist mission

Library of Congress

[Zivio]

  State Archives of North Carolina

  Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History

  National Park Service – Steamtown National Historic Site, Pennsylvania

  From The Page  -- TONS of projects listed here! “From the Page” offers businesses, libraries and other organizations crowdsourcing software platforms for engaging volunteers in transcription services!

There are also opportunities in the UK, and I suspect elsewhere in the world.  Here are a few:

Scottish Council on Archieves

Dementia Diaries

Crowdsourcing at the British Library

Coram Story Foundling Hospital
