Transcription Desires?

Yay Friday! I'm looking forward to the weekend, even though there might be some work necessary this time - we're nearing the end of the month, and lamentably, I still have not finished my tax paperwork. Sigh. (I think there's not much left to do, but it's been a while since I did the prop work I already did, and thus I need to catch up on the status and do the rest of it.)

If you are looking for something to fall into during the weekend, not tax-related, you could try... Folgerpedia's digital resources. Folger is the world's largest Shakespeare collection, and you can explore a lot of related topics there as well. And from Shakespeare, you can venture off into the world of manuscripts, and early prints...

There's also EMMO - Early Modern Manuscripts Online - where you can browse all kinds of different transcribed books, for instance. These have been transcribed by volunteers, and you can actually become one, too. That's your opportunity to learn early modern scripts... and get a glimpse into letters from back when. Or recipes. Or... well.
