Saturday, February 15
Class canceled: Transcribing & Extracting Document Information (Hybrid class)  (Education)
10:00 am to 12:00 pm
HYBRID: OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR and on Zoom

One of the best tips I received was to transcribe and extract the data in the genealogy documents I use in my research. Whether it is a handwritten or typed document, a newspaper article, or information in a periodical or book, you gain more information from it when you transcribe and extract the data. This class will demonstrate the difference between transcribing, abstracting, and extracting information and how to do it by hand, on a computer, and using artificial intelligence.
 
The class will be recorded and available for those registered to view for two weeks following the class.
