The Editor of the NCGS Journal is seeking volunteers to contribute to the Journal by transcribing various documents. Please contact the Journal editor at journaleditor@ncgenealogy.org to find out more about how you can help. Transcription projects will also be found in posts on our Facebook page. If you need training or more information on transcriptions, please view our free webinar Accurate Transcriptions for Historical Records.
Volunteer to transcribe one of the projects listed below by sending an email to the Journal editor. In the subject line of the email, type in the name of the document you’d like to work on. (For example, Burke County Ledgers mixed.) The Editor will contact you with instructions and the document to be transcribed.
This is a constantly evolving project. We strive to keep this page updated, but be aware the document you request may have already been assigned. If this is the case, other options will be offered when you are contacted by the Editor.
Some of the projects below are still active and some have been completed. For a list of active transcription projects, please contact the Journal editor at journaleditor@ncgenealogy.org and she’ll be happy to match your interest to an available project.
