Help Milner Library Special Collections and University Archives transcribe handwritten diaries, letters and more. Transcription makes materials more accessible because they are easier for everyone to read. Transcription also increases access for people using assistive technology such as screen readers.
Transcribed documents also aid in research and discovery by making full-text searching available to users.
