Transcribing History with "FromThePage" Digital Archives

Description

The Vermillion Public Library, in partnership with the University of South Dakota Libraries, is hosting a hands-on session where attendees can learn to transcribe historical archival documents.

Have you ever wanted to help transcribe archival documents? Learn how to become part of a community of passionate, detail-oriented volunteers and help USD Libraries transcribe their archival collections. 

Facilitated by Anne Hinseth, library technology librarian at the USD University Libraries.

A light lunch will be provided.

FromThePage is a crowdsourcing platform for archives and libraries where volunteers transcribe, index and describe historic documents.
