Douglass Day Transcribe-A-Thon

Friday, Feb. 13th, 2026 | 11:00 PM- 2:00 PM | Lemonis Center, second-floor open study area

The Marquette community is invited to participate in the 2026 Douglass Day Transcribe-A-Thon. Marquette will join institutions across the country in transcribing historical correspondence, articles, and other documents related to the Colored Conventions — a decades-long, nationwide Black organizing campaign in the 19th century that helped lay the groundwork for the Civil Rights era.

No special skills are required to participate. Attendees will use the official transcription platform to select a historical document, view its scanned image, and type the text as it appears. The work makes these materials searchable online while offering participants an opportunity to engage with and learn from Black history.

The event is hosted by Raynor Library, the Ott Memorial Writing Lab, and the Lemonis Center for Student Success.
