This quarter, we were so thrilled to host Dr. Elaine Thompson’s “Paleography & Transcription” course in the Archives. Students transcribed letters from the Israel Shreve collection. The letters, written or received by Shreve, give a rare and personal glimpse into the day-to-day life of a military officer during the American Revolution. This week, we hosted a special guest, Dr. Henderson, who worked with our students and Dr. Thompson to transcribe one of Shreve’s letters. This class is such a benefit to both the students and the Archives, and we are so grateful for their contributions!
