Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.
- Is there a letter, journal entry, speech, other document, or audio recording, written or delivered by or about an ancestor you wish to transcribe for future generations?
- Are you engaged in a transcription project of an historical document?
This is what Amanuensis Monday was created for.
Amanuensis is an obscure word, but it derives from the Latin, ‘Manu’ meaning ‘hand’. I began this project back in February of 2009, and since then, many others have joined in on the meme.
Why do we transcribe?
