HOW: Sign up here https://smithsonian.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZErceqrqDMtGdMK-fOQiEHK4WA2VbPlhG4J
WHY: We had so much fun, as a collaborative group, deciphering written letters (in cursive) from freed slaves as we transcribed them into a readable form (some of us using our steno machines) in an effort to preserve history for all the world. This is a great way to promote our profession. We even learned new vocabulary, geography and some brief forms.
Trust me, it is a great experience.
This Transcribe-A-Thon event is open to all.
Hope to see you there.
We are hoping for 100+ Court Reporter and Court Reporter Student participants. So, please sign up below and participate.
