Lecture by Dr. Heather Wolfe, Curator of Manuscripts, Folger Shakespeare Library on Tues, Mar. 7, 4:15-5:30pm, Founders 120
Experts from the Folger Shakespeare Library’s Early Modern Manuscripts Online project will be on hand to introduce participants to the art of transcribing English manuscripts from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. There will be food (lunch and afternoon refreshments), fun, entertaining manuscripts, transcription sprints, prizes, and an easy-to-use online transcription platform called Dromio. We’ll be transcribing the fascinating Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608, which includes many beautiful hand-drawn illustrations in addition to handwritten text.
Stay as long as your schedule permits. Bring a laptop if you can. RSVP not required, but please fill out this form. Sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Blended Learning Initiative and the Baum Fund.
