Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon

Oberlin College Libraries will celebrate Frederick Douglass’ birthday by participating in the Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon event on Friday, February 13, 2026.

If you've never done any transcription before, it’s okay! No experience is necessary, and online tutorials are available to help. So are your librarians! :-)

OCL’s Douglass Day event will run in person from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, February 13, 2026 in the Learning Lab (Room 113) at Terrell Main Library. You can drop in for as long (or as little) as you'd like.
