Welcome to the Transcribimus, a depository of early Vancouver documents and beyond.
Transcribimus encompasses a network of volunteers who transcribe handwritten documents of our early Vancouver history into a searchable one available for free to the general public and researchers.
This entire initiative would also not be possible without our sponsors. We thank you!
In Memoriam
Margaret Sutherland
Margaret Sutherland was the first volunteer and first staff person of Transcribimus. She wrote the first transcriptions and developed the methods of how we process handwritten documents. When Transcribimus needed a custom designed website for our needs, Margaret took classes and learned how to do it herself. She worked with over 100 volunteers and coordinated the transcription of over 6,000 pages of handwritten documents.
We thank Margaret for her outstanding work to making important documents of our history accessible to the public.
