Transcribathons

December 17, 2019 By Ana Bastida

Let's talk transcribathons

Hosting a transcribathon is a great way to build excitement around a project, deepen engagement, and have fun while getting work done! In August, the University of Virginia held the second annual Julian Bond transcribathon which brought the University and the local community together to help increase access to the papers of the civil rights leader and UVa professor.
 

“It made me really feel like a citizen of this city.”

- Rachel Ann Vigour
