Over the course of the event, there will be talks from Professors Sharon Ruston and Frank James about running a crowdsourced transcription project and the benefits of digitising Romantic-era manuscripts. There will also be short training sessions\/talks on how to transcribe Davy\u2019s hand and the material challenges of working with Davy\u2019s notebooks. During two hands-on sessions, participants will gain experience of transcribing early nineteenth-century handwriting and contribute transcriptions of a previously untranscribed Davy notebook, containing some of Davy\u2019s electrochemistry lecture notes from 1808. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire or develop skills to read and transcribe early nineteenth-century manuscripts, and to learn more about a crowdsourced transcription project. Lunch will be provided.

No prior experience or preparation is necessary, and questions\/discussion will, of course, be very warmly welcomed. There are plenty of computer terminals in the room, so there’s no need to bring a laptop. We hope to see you there!

If you’d like to attend, please register using this Eventbrite link<\/a>.<\/a>
