Subject: transcription help
Graduate students in my ENG 570 Electronic Texts and Images course at the
University of Kentucky are working to digitize original letters by
Coleridge and Wordsworth from the W. Hugh Peal Collection here. Some have
been previously published, some have not.
A few of the students have run into difficulty transcribing portions of
their letters, particulary those by Wordsworth. If anyone is interested in
lending another pair of eyes to the effort (particularly if you have some
experience in reading WW's hand) we'd be grateful for the outside
assistance. Write me a note indicating your interest, and I will pass your
name and email address along to the students, who will in turn send you a.)
a copy of their transcription, and b.) a pointer to a high-resolution image
of the original letter. Any assistance so rendered will be attributed.
The online archive of letters will be released for public access by the
University of Kentucky library when completed at the end of the semester.
The course homepage, which describes the project in more detail, is located at:

Best, Matt
