Abstract
This panel presentation will bring researchers, librarians, project managers, and developers into conversation about challenges and opportunities they faced when administering transcription projects in multiple languages. We specifically designed this panel to include perspectives from DH practitioners in a variety of roles. This presentation discusses a project to create a historical gazetteer for Latin America and the Caribbean by indexing an 18th-century Spanish source.
