  • Where to look for help w/Latin document translation?

    From Girl57@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 29 07:39:26 2022
    Hi, all. Looking for help translating some documents (short-ish wills, etc.) from Latin to English. Hoping someone here knows someone who does this kind of work or can recommend how to start looking. Thank you.

    David: Thank you so much for this. I'm just starting to take advantage of palaeography tutorials, etc. It'll be a fun challenge, and I hope it will help significantly in my work. That said, I think I'll probably use a hybrid model of approaching this...
    Doing some of the work myself and getting help when I'm really stuck. I'll follow the link you sent. Thanks again.
