Crowdsourcing Project:Transcribe and Decode ACW Telegrams

[Discipulus]

You can help! A new crowdsourcing effort is underway to transcribe telegrams from the US Civil War.

"The University of Minnesota is part of a national effort led by The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens to gain new insights into the U.S. Civil War with an innovative crowdsourcing project. The project involves help from the general public to transcribe and decipher a collection of nearly 16,000 Civil War telegrams between Abraham Lincoln, his Cabinet, and officers of the Union Army. Roughly one-third of the messages were written in code."​
