For the past two months, we've been running our Transcription Tuesday Weekly Challenge to help our readers stay occupied during lockdown.

Transcribing family history records is a great way to challenge yourself, learn new skills and help fellow family historians by making crucial records available to the public.

We're ending the Transcription Tuesday Weekly Challenge now, but we're gathering all our existing projects on one page so our readers can refer back to them any time they like.

If you've got time on your hands, why not spend an hour transcribing - you'll never know what you'll uncover!
