Transcription sub-group

What is the transcription sub-group

Assignments and 1:1 support will be tailored to sub-group members according to their needs in terms of transcription skill development and the time they have at their disposal.

Everything is flexible, and can be adjusted just with a simple request to Colin. If you are not enjoying yourself and getting something back, you won't stick with the programme, so it is in Colin's interests to listen to you.

The transcription sub-group will focus on

• Learning basic C17th legal hand transcription skills
• Extending existing skills and moving pretty quickly to an intermediate level
• Getting exposure to a range of manuscript material from the English High Court of Admiralty
• Getting exposure to a range of other manuscript materials, which we have available (or can quickly image for you)

-- Diverse non-deposition material from the English High Court of Admiralty (bills of lading, protests, invoices, letters...)
-- Port Books
-- Inventories
-- Wills
-- State Papers
-- Chancery Court records
