'''We are running our popular ten week transcription training programme again this summer. Volunteers will work in teams of roughly four people, with each team supported by an experienced facilitator.'''

'''Volunteers who have already signed up for this summer's programme include a PhD candidate at the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands, a lecturer in Early Modern History at Birkbeck College London, an Oxford undergraduate historian, and a landscape historian who undertakes freelance historical research.'''

Past volunteers include a former mariner with over twenty-five years experience navigating the oceans, year twelve and GAP year students, archivists and a re-enactment enthusiast, and have been located in the United States, Italy and Belgium as well as the United Kingdom.

Volunteers will work from their homes or universities using our online resources, which include digital images of manuscripts and wiki based training material. Each team gets together weekly for a team Skype call or Google hangout to discuss progress, to ask questions, and to set goals for the following week.

In terms of the content we will be working on, we will tackle the completion of [[HCA 13/124|HCA 13/124 (personal answers by the principal defendants in Admiralty Court cases)]], and may also have a go at some of [[HCA 3/46|HCA 3/46 (an HCA Act Book)]] and [[HCA 13/73|HCA 13/73 (an HCA book of depositions for 1659 and 1660)]].
