Cuimhneamh an Chláir Calls On Volunteers To Take Part In Crowd-Transcription Project

Cuimhneamh an Chláir is calling on volunteers to take part in a new “crowd-transcription” project aimed at preserving Co. Clare’s rich oral history archive. Thanks to funding from the Michael Guinee Charitable Foundation, the organisation has appointed an archivist and archival assistant for the next two years to help prepare more than 900 interviews for upload to the Digital Repository of Ireland. As part of the process, volunteers are needed to listen to recordings and write short summaries capturing stories of local life, tradition, and folklore. To find out more, Derrick Lynch was joined by Project Manager, Paula Carroll. Logo (c) Cuimhneamh an Chláir
