Transcribing the West is a student-based transcription project held in conjunction with the Department of History course “History of the American West,” taught by Professor Martha Sandweiss. The project began during the 2014 Spring semester with the digitization of sixteen gold rush and overland diary and letter collections. To date, students of the course have transcribed more than 375 pages. The aim of the project is to provide keyword search functionality for the digitized collections.
