This week’s #OnThisDay features two very different letters. While both ask for relief, one spans over two pages, whereas the other is only four lines long. Check the following link for more information: wp.unil.ch/lalp/?p=366 @SNSF_ch @lettresunil @dhCenter_ #DigitalHumanities

This week’s #LALPOfTheWeek is a particularly challenging letter in terms of character transcription, with screenshots! Check it out here: wp.unil.ch/lalp/?p=363 @SNSF_ch @lettresunil @dhCenter_ #HistoricalSociolinguistics #DigitalHumanities #Manuscripts #PauperPetitions

The letters in our corpus are mainly directed at the overseers of the applicant’s home parishes, however, #OnThisDay in 1827, a letter was written to a “Dear frend” as the parish has not taken any actions. Find out more on our project website: wp.unil.ch/lalp/?p=360
