Volunteer Wiki

Everything you need to transcribe and review historical records - from your very first page to advanced formatting.

Quick Start

1

Pick a project

Browse open projects and find one that interests you. No experience required.

2

Open a page

Select any available page. The document image loads on the left, your text box on the right.

3

Type what you see

Reproduce the text exactly as written - spelling, punctuation, and all. Save often.

Save vs. Mark for Review

Click "Save" whenever you step away or the page is unfinished. Only click "Complete & Mark for Review" when ALL text is transcribed and at most 1–2 [[?]] remain.

No account needed to transcribe. Create an account to review pages and track your contributions.
