Transcribe-a-thon on Tuesday, April 12th

Students in the Library

Students in the LibraryWhether you’re one of the 118 students already on the MLWGS Library’s Transcribe Team, or are interested in joining us to transcribe historic documents for institutions like the Library of Virginia and the Smithsonian, mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 12th, at 3:30 pm. As always, there will be tasty treats and good company.

This will be the MLWGS Library’s fourth and final Transcribe-a-thon of the school year. Collectively, we’ve already helped make hundreds of historic documents searchable by scholars, historians, writers, genealogists, and other researchers. Never transcribed before? No worries! Ms. DeGroat will provide a brief training session at the beginning of the event for any first-timers. Mark your calendar now because April 12th will sneak up quickly after spring break.
