Weekly Zooniverse Transcription Sessions Beginning Today!
Happy Monday Everyone!
Weekly Zooniverse Transcription Sessions Beginning Today!
Beginning today the Racial Restrictive Covenant Project will be hosting weekly Zooniverse transcription sessions over Zoom!
The first one is scheduled for today April 11th, 2022 at 7:00 pm.
Zooniverse is a critical component of this work. Through Zooniverse, volunteers are able to help us search for racially restrictive language in property records by reading through documents that we suspect contain covenants, transcribing any racially restrictive covenants you find, and then answering a couple of questions about the document. Each document only takes a few minutes.
Zooniverse is a fully remote volunteer opportunity and anyone interested. We offer volunteer hours, weekly training sessions, timely responses, and assistance!
Transcription sessions are a fantastic way for volunteers to get involved in the project! Each session will be roughly 45 minutes and will feature a short real-time tutorial on how to transcribe as well as the opportunity to ask questions while transcribing. We need your help mapping the history of segregation in Washington State!
We hope to see you tonight over Zoom for our transcription session! There is a link to tonight's Zoom session below as well as links to more information about the project.
Please share this information with your friends, family, and anyone else who is interested in doing remote volunteer work. We need all the help we can get! Contact us at wacovenants@gmail.com. Thank you for volunteering your time. We appreciate all the help immensely.
Best,
Sophia (Research Associate, Racial Restrictive Covenants Project)
