So the University of Iowa Libraries has this DIY thing for the historian in all of us – transcribing old texts and handwritten letters for the public record.  It’s a group effort, and the sort of nitty gritty thing you’d get to do if you actually used your history degree for a thing related to it.

KATE BEATON + DIY HISTORY?!?

So, this is a thing. 🙂
