Dublin Transcription Week

Transcription Week is taking place from the 28th of March to the 1st of April. We hope that you will join people from all over Ireland and beyond while we work towards unlocking important historical documents.

In the run-up to Transcription Week we want to provide more context on the collections being made available. We also want to highlight some training videos and point you to the tutorial on how to use this website.
