Program Description

Event Details

Handwritten manuscripts are a way of life in archival and genealogical research.  Some are easy to read, some not so much.  This lecture will introduce you to common types of handwriting from the middle ages and share ideas on how to read and analyze difficult-to-read handwriting.
