Hands on History: Dippin’ into Diaries

Try your luck at transcribing 100-year-old local diaries from the MAH archives.

(Our team of volunteer transcribers will be on hand to help you with the tricky old timey handwriting.) We’ll have printed copies of some of the diary pages for easy access. After transcribing, contribute to a communal diary hung on the Secret Garden Mural.
