How to Help Transcribe Documents

• FromThePage Transcription Demo Video

When transcriptions are finalized and exported out of FromThePage, they will be added to the digitized items in the North Carolina Digital Collections. Here are a few examples of completed transcriptions by TranscribeNC volunteers:
