Transcribe AILLA: Making Digital Texts and Datasets from Mixtec Manuscripts

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 crowd-sourced project to transcribe over 4,000 pages of linguistic data from dozens of related Indigenous Mexican languages.
