I can only say I am looking forward to participating if I can. I have transcribed thousands of pre-1700 documents but many of the Folger ones present real issues.

EMMO has had a busy fall! Great work Paul & Sarah – the project is clearly picking up a lot of steam. What is the target release date for the Shakespeare’s World tool?
I just clicked on the Snail Water link in the October 13 posting… and found that the following recipe also caught my attention – a drink to make when first exposed to the plague. Puts my little life problems in perspective!
Great to hear you would like to participate! Shakespeare’s World has recently launched, so that’s probably the best place to start with some online transcribing. Here’s the website: http://www.shakespearesworld.org/#/ Welcome to the early modern paleography community!

I would like to participate, as well! I have a special interest in Shakespeare, and would be very glad to learn the necessary paleographic skills.
