SUMMARY:Douglass Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of 
 Frederick Douglass and strives to create new and freely available resources 
 for learning about Black history during a transcribe-a-thon. This year\, we 
 will transcribe documents from Princeton University Library’s Special 
 Collections\, related to legal and economic conditions of newly emancipated 
 African Americans in Louisiana just after the Civil War. We will also 
 explore the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence by 
 starting with messy text generated by a handwritten text recognition (HTR) 
 platform.\n \nHosted by Princeton University Library\, the event begins 
 with an introduction to the collection by Jennifer Garcon (Librarian for 
 Modern and Contemporary Special Collections) and Steven Knowlton (Librarian 
 for History and African American Studies)\, as well as an introduction to 
 the HTR process by Christine Roughan (Postdoctoral Research Associate at 
 the Center for Digital Humanities and Manuscript\, Rare Book\, and Archive 
 Studies). \n\nCoffee\, tea\, and snacks will be provided. Stop by anytime 
 between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm. A limited number of laptops will be available 
 for use during the event.\n\nDouglass Day is presented by Library of 
 Congress\, Center for Black Digital Research\, and Douglassday.org\n
LOCATION:Firestone Library - A-6-F (Classroom)\, Firestone Library
