On 18 September, we’ll be hosting our annual transcribathon. This year, we’re working on the wonderful Jane Dawson book. It is an interesting example of a manuscript book from the middling sorts, and has lots of food and medicine. Rebecca Laroche discusses the book here.
We’d love to have you join in. Things will be kicking off in the UK at 10:00 (UK-time) and will continue over the next twelve hours. During those twelve hours, we’ll be talking about what we’re transcribing on Twitter, Facebook, and this blog…
If you’d like to join in, please see our announcement here or catch up on Liza Blake’s recent blog post on bringing transcription into the classroom.
To join in, drop me a line in the comments, by email at lisa.smith@essex.ac.uk, or on Twitter @historybeagle.

So glad I found this before it happened. I wanted to join last year but wasn’t available. I would love to join this time around! Looks like a fantastic text.
Wonderful! I just spotted your email from last year as I was going through anything transcribathon-related. I will send you an email shortly.
Please sign me up.
Glad you’re interested! Just let us know if you have any questions 🙂
