Queen's University Citizen' Archivist Project

Queen's University Archives has partnered with FromThePage in a crowdsourcing “Citizen Archivist” project to transcribe a number of institutional and community holdings. 

Transcription of handwritten manuscripts from the past helps open up a literal archive of information that can help inform understanding of our communities.  more discoverable, accessible and useable for all researchers. 

The material currently put up reflects both the University and regional Kingston holdings. There are over a decade of City Minutes that need transcription!! Also various early diaries of the Kingston area such as the Kingston Driving (Sleighing) Club and the Ballingall diary.

More works are to be added as the material gets transcribed.
