UA Libraries has installed web-based transcription software (Omeka and Scripto) to enable anyone to transcribe old letters and documents online.  I’ve uploaded a box of correspondence from the Cabaniss collection (about a wealthy landowner who wanted to free his slaves via his will — many of whom were his own children) — and another box of correspondence from the William Gorgas collection.  Gorgas was famous for his work in discovering  a cure for yellow fever.
