Transcription Tuesday is Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine’s annual online volunteer event for family historians. While the growth of online family history websites has made many records more accessible, millions of important historic documents that could be the key to tracing someone’s ancestor still only exist in paper form.
We first launched Transcription Tuesday in 2017. Every year since then, our readers have come together online to support a variety of not-for-profit transcription projects. It’s a great way to practice your family history skills, and the records often tell fascinating stories of ordinary people’s lives in history.
What projects does Transcription Tuesday support?
We have supported a large number of projects over the years ranging from transcribing parish registers to logging railway accident reports and tagging Welsh photographs.
If you have a transcription or indexing project that is looking for remote transcribers, please get in touch with us.
