About this event

Join us for a transcribe-a-thon! Learn to use the handwriting recognition tool Transkribus. We’ll be transcribing late 19th-century letters from the Dodds-Methany Ottoman Letters archive, which includes handwritten letters from doctors, missionaries, and their families serving in the Ottoman Empire in the late 1800s.

Snacks will be provided.
