Transcribe the whole page, as it is written. Try to keep original spellings where possible. Please see the Style Guide for further details.
When you are finished with the page for the day, but the page is not complete, save your work. If you have completed the page, select "done," in green. Then, save the page, and click the upper right hand arrow to navigate to the next page.
Every single page will need to be individually marked as "done" before it gets sent to staff for review.
Mark Cover Pages, Index Pages and other pages that have no information to be transcribed, as blank.
Common Issues:
Column headings disappearing: Switch your "layout" to another option, and then change it back. This is a temporary fix, but the best one we have at the moment.
Someone Else is Working on the Page: You might get this message if another volunteer has started indexing the same page as you. You can avoid this issue by immediately saving your page before you start working on it!
