About the global Douglass Day transcribe-a-thon:

The transcribe-a-thon will bring together thousands of participants at more than one hundred simultaneous events around the world. Students, teachers, and community members will help to transcribe an unprecedented collection of digitized papers left by Frederick Douglass. These papers have been digitized and made available through collaborations with the Library of Congress and the ByThePeople platform.

The Douglass Day transcribe-a-thon will be held on February 14, 2024 from 12-3 PM (Eastern) and will be streamed live on YouTube. The transcribing will be done on Crowd.loc.gov, a citizen science platform led by the the Library of Congress. Douglass Day invites people from all backgrounds to join in this effort to make Douglass’s correspondence more widely accessible and searchable.
