EMROC Spring Transcribathon

Save the date: EMROC Spring transcribathon

EMROC has shifted its transcribathon to Spring for this year, and we’re excited to announce our theme, “Women’s Health, Women’s Handbooks.” The date is set for March 14, 2025, and we’ll have an exciting program for those taking part both in-person and online.

We know some of you have incorporated the transcribathon into your classes in the past, and we hope this announcement might come in time for Spring syllabus planning.

This year, we’ll be working to transcribe RCP MS688, A Book of surgerie and phisick, and Wellcome MS 373 (at right), and Jane Jackson’s A very shorte and compendious Methode of Phisicke and Chirurgery.

We’re working with Wellcome Collection and the Royal College of Physicians on the details, and we’ll have more to announce soon, including some pedagogical resources, on our website, https://emroc.hypotheses.org
