DESCRIPTION:This event is part of "The Cause of All Mankind: A Celebration 
 of the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence."\n\n \n\nHoste
 d in collaboration with UNO Criss Library Archives and Special Collections\
 , this workshop will explore how contemporary Americans encounter and inter
 pret the founding era through the practice of archival transcription. Drawi
 ng on materials highlighted by the Library of Congress’s Women of the Early
  Republic “By the People” campaign\, the session will introduce participant
 s to the ways in which everyday documents—letters\, petitions\, and civic r
 ecords—offer insight into the political ideals and social conflicts that sh
 aped the nation’s founding. Brief demonstrations and commentary from facili
 tators will frame transcription as both a scholarly skill and a means of ci
 vic engagement\, inviting discussion about the accessibility of historical 
 records\, the preservation of marginalized voices\, and the role of public 
 participation in constructing historical memory. Participants will transcri
 be the surviving papers of Anne “Nancy” Home Shippen Livingston\, Rebecca L
 loyd Nicholson\, Margaret Bayard Smith\, and Anna Maria Brodeau Thornton. T
 hese papers offer a window into the new political landscape caused by the A
 merican Revolution\, though women’s lives remained circumscribed by the pre
 vailing social order.\n\n \n\nThe event space has desktop computers\, so pa
 rticipants are welcome to use them or bring their own devices.
