5 years ago Hey @bossa12
So @jsteele1 and I have talked in class how we're gonna tackle the project. We decided that everyone will do 2 images each and then we will work on the last image together.
Some background info We currently have 2 issues available to us and we will eventually have 4 total. Issue 1 has 5 images and Issue 2 has 2 images.
Please pick out 2 images of your choice and state what issue it comes from and the number.
@RJP43 For the google doc, can we have mutiple transcriptions on one doc or do we have to have separate docs for each image?

hey there @jsteele1, @bossa12, @dpedz, and @ElleBromer đź‘‹
This issue was re-worked on April 6th to invite Elle on to this project team and to correct the transcription process. Please only continue working on transcriptions after re-reading this issue!
Your team has been assigned the French-language "Vice Versa" issues from VoilĂ . As a team, you will transcribe the original text from the facsimile images for the five issues. Each issue's images are available in their respective folders of the larger ViceVersa folder. Please note only the text of the Vice Versa story should be transcribed - ignoring any of the surrounding VoilĂ text (i.e. advertisements, other articles). We ask the text be transcribed (character by character; paying close attention to accents and original font styles found in the print rendition!)
Transcriptions can be done in Microsoft Word and then uploaded to the correct folder in your team's ViceVersa folder. You will notice in each issues' folder I have created a starter
.docxfile with the correct filename. If you choose to transcribe in Microsoft Word please begin by downloading the base file and upload your file overtop of that file as you progress.Transcriptions can also be done in the following Google Docs for each issue: ViceVersa_Issue1
ViceVersa_Issue2 ViceVersa_Issue3
ViceVersa_Issue4
ViceVersa_Issue5
Transcribing in either Microsoft Word or Google Docs is fine as long as your partner (if you have one on your specific issue) is aware of where you both are working -- so as to not upload over eachother's files. Also you must include accents -- if you are more comfortable adding special characters in Word then use Word. To insert special characters in Google:
When transcribing please keep the following in mind:
You must transcribe titles and section titles with proper formatting (e.g., bold, italics, or caps) Make sure you capture all accents and special characters (e.g., é, ä, ê)
Indicate paragraphs with indentations as in the article (not spaces or numbers)
Transcribe the article's page numbers at the end of each page's transcribed text, following the last line of the page
Transcribe all captions for images at the end of the transcription for each page following this format:
Indicate any comments/questions that arise while transcribing in square brackets, highlighted in yellow, and with your initials (as seen in the above example).
I have gone through and edited ViceVersa_Issue1 so it can be used as an example of our expectations.
Here are the new assignments: Issue 1: images 10,11 -- Transcribed by @bossa12 and @dpedz, Revised by @RJP43, Needs to be proofed by @jsteele1 for accents, em dashes, and hyphenation removal.
Issue 2: images 12,13 -- Transcription started by @dpedz, Needs to be revised by @dpedz according to Issue 1 Example
Issue 3: images 14, 15 -- Transcription started by @jsteele1, Needs to be revised by @jsteele1 according to Issue 1 Example
Issue 4: images 14 (1934), 15 (1934) -- Transcription to be led by @ElleBromer
Issue 5: images 1934 PDF -- Transcription to be led by @bossa12
