SUMMARY:FairCopy: A Word Processor for the Digital Humanities
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCome learn about FairCopy\, a new tool for studying and 
 transcribing primary sources in literature and history. You can use 
 FairCopy on a variety of texts\, from novel-length works\, to written 
 correspondence\, audio transcripts\, dramatic productions\, and more. It 
 works on Windows\, Mac\, and Linux systems.\n\nIn this demonstration\, 
 we'll transcribe some of the personal correspondence of Mary Church Terell. 
 Terell was a teacher and civil rights activist and a charter member of the 
 NAACP. Her papers are kept at the Library of Congress. We will show how to 
 take plain text transcriptions from the "By the People" project and produce 
 structured text using FairCopy. We will also use FairCopy to mark names and 
 places mentioned in her letters.\n\nNick Laiacona is the President of 
 Performant Software Solutions LLC. Since 2006\, Performant has cultivated a 
 specialty in critical digital editions and has served clients throughout 
 North America and Europe. Laiacona has acted as technical lead on digital 
 projects funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Andrew 
 W. Mellon Foundation\, and the National Institutes of Health.\n\nThis 
 program is open to all\, but registration is required. The Zoom link to 
 join will be sent via email before the event.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
