Transcribing a letter from Frederick Douglass recounting his visit to Parliament for #DouglassDay. Names are by far the hardest thing to transcribe!

[Kate Topham 🎩🐈 @tophkat]

If you're on campus, you can join us anytime from now until 3:00pm. Come for the transcribing, stay for the cake! (From Sweet Encounter bakery in Lansing)

Excited to be helping run #DouglassDay in the Digital Scholarship Lab @msulibraries today!

Today I noticed that the Folger's Shakespeare Library softcovers look suspiciously like cans of LaCroix. Here is a 🧵of pairings, starting with A Midsummer Night's Dream and a lovely can of fizzy lemon water.

So honored to review this excellent project! One of my all time favorite @MSUGlobalDH presentations.

@MidniteLibrary Not what you were looking for but I made a Wikidata query looking for exactly this - Iron Man, Brother Voodoo, and Doctor Strange are the only ones w/academic degrees listed in Wikidata. None are in the humanities. (query here: https://t.co/sl9kbNnm86)
