Volunteer Opportunity

Hi friends,

I recently spoke with a professor at Northwestern University who has been working with the National Archives in England to digitize equity court records. These records have not previously been easily available to most people. They contain a wealth of genealogical information.

Her group has digitized some indexes and run them through AI transcription. The indexes were written in secretary hand. She now needs a few volunteers to review and correct the transcriptions.

If you would be interested in participating, please DM me.

Thank you!

Kathryn

Oops, sorry! Now that you mention that, I think I remember hearing we shouldn't include contact info. I'll be sure to avoid that in the future :) Thanks!

Thanks, Graham! I hope they didn't get it confused with another project—I haven't heard from anyone. Were you able to tell them how to get in touch with me if they're interested?;

Thanks again for helping us find the volunteers we need!
