The following is posted on behalf of Cheryl Beredo at the Kheel Center at Cornell:
The Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation and Archives has partnered with the Modern Records Centre at the University of Warwick (UK) on a Yiddish translation crowdsourcing project. In fall 2012, we launched a site that presents digitized Yiddish-language materials from both collections for translation to English by the general public. The materials document the lives of working class Jewish immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
