As a transcription volunteer you will play a vital role in helping Ripon Museums uncover the stories hidden in our collections. Our document archive is a treasure trove of information but we currently have little idea of what is contained in these amazing documents, because none of them are transcribed or summarised. This is a fantastic opportunity to use or develop your skills in transcribing documents and learn about the history relating to our amazing buildings, collections and stories.
You will be:
• Transcribing original documents, such as police diaries and notebooks, prison record books, mugshot records etc
• Writing short summaries of documents
• Updating the collections management system (full training given)
• Interest in museums/collections or history
• Ability to work with close attention to detail
• Good written communication skills
• Ability to work independently, using your own initiative
• 2-3 hours per week, days flexible
Where will I be based?
• Workhouse Museum
