Bodleian Student Editions
Would you like to contribute to the discovery of new research materials in the Bodleian’s manuscript collections? And to learn something about editing early modern letters and approaches to digital humanities along the way? Then please sign up for our Bodleian Student Editions editing workshops.

Take part in this hands-on session working on the transcription of early modern letters and join a discussion on the issues of representing historical power imbalances that are preserved in the archival record.

In this day-long workshop you will learn the skills to handle some of the Bodleian’s special collections and to read eighteenth-century handwriting. No experience in history or historical texts is needed – we’ll teach you all you need to handle, read and transcribe these fascinating letters.

Registration is required. Open to University of Oxford students only. Level – open to complete beginners and students from any subject, undergraduate or graduate.
