Transcription Day: Fairhope's Founding

About this event

In celebration of Fairhope’s Founding, the Fairhope Museum of History is hosting a transcribe-a-thon on November 14th from 1:30-3:30 in the museum council chamber! Get a first-hand look at some of the letters, notes, diaries, and documents from Fairhope’s founding years and help transcribe the documents for the first time to be made accessible online. Volunteers can bring their own laptop to type transcriptions or use provided paper and pencils. Volunteers must be able to read cursive and, if transcribing onto paper, write legibly. Participants will receive a “red ribbon” to represent the founders’ meeting and travel across the bay to Fairhope in November 1894!
