Transcription Projects

Transcription projects are texts backed with facsimiles of a reference edition. This makes it possible to guarantee that a text can be trusted; any modification of the text can be verified instantly, by anyone.

Here is a list of transcription projects, sorted by the type of task that is needed.

If you start a new project, please report it here. A complete list can be found here.

These need to be converted to DJVU.
