About this Item

Title

  • Transcription dataset from the Blackwell family papers, Manuscript Division

Other Title

  • By the People transcription campaign title : The Blackwells: an extraordinary family

Summary

  • This dataset is an export of transcriptions for 56,187 images from the Blackwell Family Papers digital collection created by volunteers participating in the Library of Congress crowdsourcing program By the People (https://crowd.loc.gov) campaign The Blackwells: An Extraordinary Family. It contains text created by volunteers through a transcription and review process, volunteer-created tags, digital collections metadata, and metadata representing the arrangement of the items in the By the People platform, Concordia.
  • The dataset includes transcriptions and data generated from the pages in the By the People campaign The Blackwells: An Extraordinary Family https://crowd.loc.gov/campaigns/blackwells-extraordinary-family/). The campaign consisted of a selection of then-available online images of digitized content from the Blackwell Family Papers digital collection (http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/collmss.ms000092). The transcription campaign included all of the collection except for the Addition series. The Blackwell Family Papers span the years 1759-1960 and predominantly represent twenty individual family members of the Blackwell family across two generations. The collection's correspondence, diaries, speeches, and other papers exemplify the family's long commitment to social reform movements, such as abolition, women's rights, women's suffrage, and temperance. Prominent family members include Lucy Stone; her husband, Henry Browne Blackwell; and their daughter, Alice Stone Blackwell, all of whom were prominent in the women's rights and women's suffrage movements. Also in the collection are papers of Elizabeth Blackwell, who pioneered in the role of women in medicine, and her adopted daughter Kitty Barry Blackwell. See the Blackwell Family Papers digital collection (http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/collmss.ms000092) for all available online items for this collection, as well as contextual information.
