Ensemble Transcribe Challenges
Ensemble Transcribe Challenges
Overview
Are you a speedy typist? Come solo or assemble your dream team and rise to the Ensemble@Yale Transcribe Challenge! Bring your computer, invite friends to help, and compete for prizes while volunteering with the Ensemble@Yale project to transcribe names from over 900 Yale theater programs. Participants will have the option to divide into teams of up to 3 individuals to transcribe programs. The team with the most transcriptions by the end will win an Ensemble prize pack! Don’t like to compete but still want to contribute? Stop in anytime!
The Digital Humanities Laboratory and Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library are seeking volunteers to help record actor and staff member names from Yale Repertory Theatre and Yale School of Drama programs from 1925-2016. Join us at one or more of our fall Ensemble events to contribute to the project, enjoy snacks, and play games connected to Yale theater! In the meantime, you can learn about the project and how you can help on the Ensemble@Yale About page.
Please bring a laptop with you to the event. Ensemble@Yale is not mobile friendly. If you would like to participate but don’t have a laptop, please contact the event organizers in advance to see if arrangements can be made.
