OTurC-Ottoman Turkish Crowdsourcing Project | Tutorial (English)

Welcome to the Ottoman Turkish Crowdsourcing project! Help us transcribe Ottoman Turkish manuscripts and printed collections while learning about late Ottoman-era cultural history. In this project, you have a chance to work with others on the 19th to early 20th century handwritten and printed Ottoman Turkish archival collections by transcribing portions of these documents.
