Hello Orin,
Terry Moore and I have spearheaded the SPIN project, which has the aim of using online tools to support collaborative efforts to transcribe Peirce's manuscripts into a searchable form. Here is a link to the site: https://fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16 C. S. Peirce Manuscripts | FromThePage<https://fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16> fromthepage.com C. S. Peirce Manuscripts - collection overview. The goal of the Scalable Peirce Interpretation Network (SPIN) is to develop a model environment for distributed collaboration that can support an international network of researchers, students, and citizen scholars in cooperative efforts to encode and interpret handwritten manuscripts, including those of high complexity. As our testbed, we plan to use the "Logic Notebook" that Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of Pragmatism, kept as the seedbed and greenhouse for his ideas together with related sets of manuscripts in logic and semiotics. We are treating the pages in the MS 145 folder as a sandbox. Take the platform for a test run and play with the toolset. The enhanced set of LaTeX tools for encoding the algebraic formulas and graphical diagrams have been added, and a set of guidelines for making the encodings is ready to go. Here are links to Transcription Guidelines on the SPIN Project website, digital images of the Ma Thus far, the network of volunteers has transcribed about 2000 pages. If there are particular texts of interest to an individual or group who would like to make a concerted effort, then I would be willing to upload requested sets into the system if they are not already there. The resulting transcriptions can be downloaded in a large number of formats. If anyone has questions about getting started, guidelines are available via a link on the home page. If the information there does not answer any questions, let me know.

Hello, I remember seeing in this list a link (perhaps more than one) to opportunities for transcribing Peirce's writings but I can't find it in the archive. I've met a scholar who is adept at this and is eager to contribute. I would appreciate a reminder about where I can find this. Thanks, Orin Hargraves
