Transcribathons
Z.d.20, Part II (Fall 2022)
Join the Folger Shakespeare Library on September 14, 2022 to continue transcribing a weekly account book for London House (March 1612-March 1614) using FromThePage. The writer of the manuscript, a Lady, is not named but was a friend of Lady Townshend and of Lord Stanhope.
We’ll be transcribing the weekly entries for the quantities of food and drink coming in and being consumed along with their costs and the quarterly summaries of the accounts. Event participants will be helping to make the account book keyword searchable (along with Folger’s corpus of manuscript recipe books) and to develop conventions for transcribing account books in FromThePage.
This event is open to all transcribers— NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. Drop in anytime – before, during, or after the event – and transcribe as long as you like! For anyone who wants to transcribe together, the Zoom room will be open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. ET.
