Week Three goals
In the third week of the MarineLives Summer Transcription Programme we will:
(1) Review and edit the transcriptions done by each team member in week two
(2) Discuss tricky words and expressions team members have come across
(3) Do a further two pages of transcription each, this week chosen both from HCA 13/68
(4) Develop search strategies to find and synthesise material on the Three Silver Ships project
One to One calls to be held with each team member
Colin will set up 1:1 calls with each team member lasting roughly 30 minutes each to review week two transcriptions, to discuss palaeographical issues, and to explore search strategies for the Three Silver Ships project
