Feature: Editorial Toolkit

March 16, 2009 By Ben Brumfield

I'm pleased to report that my cousin Linda Tucker has finished transcribing the 1919 diary. I've been trying my best to keep up with her speed, but she's able to transcribe two pages in the amount of time it takes me to edit and annotate a single, simple page.

April 5, 2007 By Ben Brumfield

On his indispensable Investigations of a Dog, Gavin Robinson describes digitizing his grandfather's letters from a German POW camp in WWI: The text will be transcribed and marked up with TEI compliant XML, and published on the web, along with background information written by me.
