Ha! Yes, sometimes the writing can be a challenge. It makes me wonder what will happen to all of the documents written in cursive now that kids (at least in the US) don't have to learn how to write in cursive anymore. That's why these transcriptions are so important, so we don't lose the history.
Wow, I had no idea. Sharing this on my newsletter this Friday. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing! :)
This is so cool!!
It's SO much fun!
How amazing!!! I’m currently transcribing early editions of an ecology magazine. It’s fascinating but you get all that variety!!
Oh that’s awesome! I think I’d enjoy that as well, but yes, the variety at the Library of Congress is amazing!
Love that you do this! I can’t even read my writing sometimes so I don’t think I would be great at it. 😊

Absolutely!
What a cool opportunity!
It's so fun! And gets the creative juices flowing.
