Irish letters of 1916
Ireland has begun its first public humanities project. Letters of 1916 will digitize thousands of letters written between November 1915 and October 1916, giving readers a window into life in Ireland a century ago. There is an image of each original letter and a transcribed copy. And, if you are interested in a challenging volunteering opportunity, you can transcribe some of the letters yourself.
