Episode Synopsis

The Battalion Documents have been found, digitized and partially transcribed. But now what? 17,000 archival boxes full of documents! How can we help Laura create order out of chaos? How can people be able to search with one click to pull up all the pages that have your ancestor or a certain place mentioned?
Laura explains the process and benefits but also sends out a plea for help.
Contact Laura if you'd like to help participate the discovery and research process by helping transcribe or review future transcriptions. email: [email protected]
