Woodruff New Documents

The mission of the Wilford Woodruff Papers Foundation is to collect, transcribe, publish, and digitally preserve Wilford Woodruff's records. These document sets on FromThePage.com represent a very small portion of Wilford Woodruff's Papers. As these documents are transcribed, completed documents will be taken down and replaced with other documents needing transcription. We welcome volunteers willing to share their time and talents in transcribing these documents.

Project-specific Instructions: Transcribe each document exactly as written. Preserve spelling, punctuation, and all words as they are in the document. If a word is illegible, write "illegible" and click on the unclear button. If you can determine certain letters but not the whole word, please write "illegible" rather than a word that doesn't make sense. If a word is written in what appears to be a form of shorthand, write {shorthand} and continue with the rest of the document. Use the text editor buttons to indicate superscripts, underlines and strikethroughs. Never click "Autolink." When you are finished with a page, click the "Done" button. Please complete one letter before beginning another letter. Tables in the original documents are reproduced in the transcription using the table encoding format taught in this link.

Work product: By transcribing documents in the Wilford Woodruff Papers, you acknowledge that your work, contribution, and involvement in and to the Wilford Woodruff Papers Project (your "Contribution"), is the property of the Wilford Woodruff Papers Foundation. You irrevocably transfer and assign to the Foundation your Contribution with all rights, title, and interests and all other intellectual property rights, for use (in whole, in part, or as modified or changed) in any and all data and media, now known or hereafter created, and for any and all other purposes that support the mission of the Foundation.

Thank you for your willingness to assist in the transcription effort and in the larger mission of making Wilford Woodruff's Papers available to a worldwide audience. We appreciate your contributions.
