Seeking Yiddish Script Translators for Research Sunday
JGSGB is looking for Yiddish translators who are able to read Yiddish handwriting, either in print or script. Documents typically are postcards, letters, or annotations on the back of family photos. If you have this expertise and would like to volunteer to help us for 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon, we would be most grateful. Membership in JGSGB is not a requirement to volunteer. Please email us at ResearchSunday@jgsgb.org. Thank you!
