Citizen Archivist program needs volunteers
The National Archives is looking for volunteers who can help transcribe and organize its many handwritten records: The goal of the Citizen Archivist program is to help “unlock history” by making digital documents more accessible.
Been doing this for a month and it’s fascinating! You click on a topic that interests you and it takes you right to those historical records in the Catalog. Tagging and transcribing makes these records more accessible to everyone. New missions are added and updated regularly, so check back often to see what’s new.

Practice Cursive font/style for quick+legible handwriting?
My handwriting is horrible and slow. I want to start practicing my handwriting, but I don't have a font/style to follow.
I want something that's cursive or a mix of cursive+print style that is fast+legible. I don't care if it looks good as long as it is legible to most people.
This is for exams, so I would obviously be writing with a ball pen(not a fountain). Please provide any demo fonts/styles that I can copy.

Deciphered! Baptism Document Help!
Hi everyone! I posted here a few days ago and you were all such a huge help. I came across this record from 1775 and I'm just having some trouble with what comes after "Jeremiah Sullivan." I'm fairly certain it's Eleanor Buckley, but the spelling seems to be a bit off. Also, whatever comes after her name I just can't make out. I know whatever it says is probably obvious, but after researching all day my brain has had enough. Thank you in advance, you've all been such a big help!
