Dublin Transcription Project passes 1 million point!
Back in March 2022 we launched #TranscriptionWeek, a project to transcribe and enrich historical records held in Dublin City Library and Archive. Once the week was over we continued working under the banner of the Dublin Transcription Project. Since then transcribers have been busy and in January we passed the 1 million characters transcribed landmark!
It was fantastic to return to a full library service in 2022. Here's a look at our year in numbers: 1.4 million visited our libraries, 34,471 people attended 2,524 events and 41,113 people joined up. A big welcome to all!
