To start transcribing:
At this point, you might want to find out more about the two manuscripts we’re transcribing. These two videos are a great help with that!
- RCP MS 688 – Introducing Mrs Henslow’s book of ‘surgerie and physick’
- Wellcome MS 373 – Introduction to Wellcome MS.373 – Jane Jackson’s Recipe Book
2. Sign up for a page to transcribe through our GoogleDoc.

That’s it. No Sign Up via Eventbrite required to transcribe.
