Transcription: transcribed hundreds of pages of correspondence of a noted American performer and her family for use by an author writing the performer's biography; also dozens of pages of 19th-c. documents in French written by a Swedish diplomat during the American Civil War. For my Ph.D., I worked on 12th-century manuscripts in Latin. Chances are your documents won't seem difficult to me.
