MANTEO — The State Archives of North Carolina is looking for help in transcribing hundreds of old records with handwriting that one expert described as “colonial chicken scratch.”
The Virginian-Pilot reported last week that some of the documents are 300 years old. The state has put the records on a website called Transcribe NC.
Volunteers can take a stab at deciphering what they say.
The documents are written in an outdated style with large swirls and long tails. The site offers a tutorial on how to decode the writings.
