<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I would like to share an upcoming conference presentation with the Ohio archival community.</p>
<p><br></p><p dir="auto">I will be presenting a <b>virtual</b> poster titled <b>“Humanizing the Archive: Transcription and Access to Historical Manuscripts”</b> at the Society of American Archivists (SAA) Annual Meeting.</p><p><br></p>
<p>My research explores how archival transcription improves access to historical manuscripts while balancing readability and historical authenticity. Drawing on my internship with Historic Hudson Valley, the project examines transcription as both a technical skill and an interpretive process, highlighting the role archivists play in making historical records accessible while preserving their historical context.</p>
<p>If you are attending the SAA Annual Meeting, I would be delighted if you visited my virtual poster presentation and joined the discussion. I look forward to connecting with fellow archivists and sharing my research.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
