Transcribe-A-Thon hosted by ASIS&T SC & SAASC: featuring the Smithsonian Collection
Ready to try your hand at transcribing historic artifacts while
also gaining practical first-hand experience working with the
Smithsonian Collections? ASIS&T SC and SAASC are excited to
invite you to our 2-part Transcribe-A-Thon event!
In Part 1, we will become familiar with the Transcription Center
website, browse the various active collections, and give
transcribing a try ourselves.
Held a week later, Part 2 of the event will involve learning more
about how the Smithsonian Institution harnesses the power of
their digital volunteers & exchange stories about the artifacts
we’ve transcribed over the week.
Can’t make the zoom events? No worries! During the week of the
29th, feel free to stop by the SAASC Discord server for chill
working sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. With a
plethora of opportunities to learn, share, & even create a piece
of evidence for your ePortfolio, we hope to see you at the
Transcribe-A-Thon!
