Volunteering with Lexington Public Library

The Library has many handwritten documents in the Digital Archives that are not currently searchable. Transcription of these documents will make them more usable for people researching Kentucky history and ancestors. We are seeking volunteers to assist with transcribing documents online for current and future projects! Requirements to volunteer with this opportunity are: able to read cursive, able to use a computer and access the internet, and able to transcribe 2-4 pages at a time. This volunteer opportunity is flexible in schedule and remote, as you get to determine when, where, and how long you transcribe! The current transcription project is linked here. Please take a look at the projects to get an idea of what transcribing looks like before applying.
