Skype call to kickoff January 2018 volunteer group

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CALL:

  • Be at your PC or laptop five minutes before the time of the call and logged into Skype
  • Colin will create a Skype group and originate the call
  • If at any time you drop off the call due to technical reasons, Colin will attempt to bring you back in


Proposed January 2018 Kickoff Skype Call Agenda


(1) Quick individual introductions (1 min each)

- Gentle nudge: for those who have not uploaded a picture of themselves and written a couple of lines, you can find inspiration from your colleagues efforts here:

January 2018 biographies

(2) Quick teach in on use of the wiki (15 mins)

- adding text to wiki pages
- inserting footnotes
- creating new wiki pages

[Colin will post some supporting notes to this wiki page before the call to act as an aide memoire on the above]

(3) Forming a transcription sub-group and a textiles, garments and dyestuffs sub-group (20 mins)

Colin's discussions with you individually suggest that some of you are keen to improve your transcription skills, and others want more of a focus on the textiles, garments and dyestuffs glossary

Coin therefore suggests we form two sub-groups (a) transcription skills & practice (b) developing the textiles, graments and dyestuffs glossary

This does not stop members of the textiles, garments and dyestuffs glossary group from improving their transcription skills! Indeed, I am going to suggest that one of the remits of this glossary group is to identify C17th manuscript material, preferably from the 1627-1677 period, for imaging and upload. We can then collectively transcribe this material, contributing it to the commons via our wiki, and use the material for sources of more glossary terms and glossary commentary. I have taken a start by identifying some London and surrounds based dyer inventories, but I am totally open to the group establishing what type of material would be most valuable - we have a number of textile and garment experts amongst our volunteers, and I look forward to learning from you, with myself as the facilitator.

Sample of London & surrounds dyer inventories for possible imaging & collective transcription

We need to:

- Decide who is in each group
- How we want to work in each group in terms of (a) frequency of group sessions (b) availability and use of 1:1 support by Colin

Issues for discussion

  • How much transcription experience of sub-group members have of transcription, and specifically C17th transcription? Beginner, intermediate, advanced?
  • How much time do sub-group members want to put in per week, per month (helps Colin think about putting together individual support and sugegsted mansucripts to work on)
  • Are there particular themes or document types sub-group members would like to work on?

Colin has started this above deposition but it would be good to finish it, and the subject matter is interesting. It concerns the seizure of an English ship at the island of Antego by ships of Prince Rupert's fleet, when the English ship stopped to relade cargo from another damaged English merchant ship.

The deposition starts:

The third day of december 1653.

Lewellen Austin and others against Powerr. [?XX]

  • Are there particular topics individuals wish to focus on?
  • How shall we allocate work on a weekly or bi-weekly basis?
  • Should we form an editorial group?
  • Should we establish some editorial standards?
  • How should we establish new manuscript sources for the period 1627-1677, related to the themes of the glossary, and ideally to MarineLives, which we can image and transcribe as new sources for the glossary?
