VC Daghregister transcription project
University of Witwatersrand
Project type: Open call project
Start Date: 1 October 2018
Project Status: completed
Project Objective:
Continuing the work started during two major transcription projects executed in the Cape Archives from 2001 till 2008.
The project is exclusively focussed on the digitisation and transcription of these journals in order to make general historical information and historical linguistic material (in particular Afrikaans and Dutch) available in the public domain. The historical linguistic material offers numerous examples of diachronic and synchronic importance contained in these documents. Of the entire period (1651-1795) the years 1671 to 1679 had to be completed during the SADiLaR phase of the project.
