Instructions for Obituary Transcription

Instructions for transcribing obituaries on this website.

1. Click on the "Obit_Unassigned" link below, then select one of the obituaries that have a "0 COMMENTS" below it.

2. Add a comment that you are working on the selected obituary (so that no one else types it up too.)

3. Click on the obituary image to bring up the full size version.

4. Open a Windows Notepad window and transcribe the obituary as-is. Leave a blank line between paragraphs.

5. Copy-and-paste your transcription as a second comment to the obituary.

6. Continue on with your life, knowing that I am very thankful for your help. :)
