Huntington Calls on Public
Project Decoding Civil War


 
In a move to gain new insightsinto the U.S. Civil War, The 
Huntington Library, Art 
Collections, and Botanical 
Gardens announced Tuesday thepublic launch of an innovativecrowdsourcing project to 
transcribe and decipher a 
collection of nearly 16,000 
Civil War telegrams betweenAbraham Lincoln, his Cabinet, 
and officers of the Union 
Army. Roughly one-third of themessages were written in code.

 The Huntington is collaboratingon the “Decoding the CivilWar” project with Zooniverse 
(the largest online platform 
for collaborative volunteer 
research), North Carolina StateUniversity’s Digital Historyand Pedagogy Project, and theAbraham Lincoln Presidential 
Library and Museum.

 The Huntington acquired theexceptionally rare collection oftelegrams in 2012, composedof a nearly complete archiveof Thomas T. Eckert, the head 
of the military telegraph officeof the War Department underLincoln.

 “Crowdsourced digital projectsinvolving transcription have 
begun to provide a tremendousopportunity for both institutionsand interested citizens,” said 
Dan Lewis, chief curator of 
manuscripts at The Huntington.

 Built and managed by theUniversity of Minnesota’s 
Zooniverse team, the 
crowdsourcing project itself 
has three phases. “In the 
first phase, underway now, 
interested volunteers go online 

to transcribe the nearly 16,000telegrams line by line, creatingan extraordinarily rich database,” 
said Mario Einaudi, Kemble 
Digital Projects Librarian atThe Huntington. In the secondphase, volunteers will comb thedatabase to identify significantpeople, dates, and times, 
enabling the creation of a robustsearch function. In the final 
phase, code books in the archivewill be used to decipher theencoded telegrams, potentiallyproviding fresh insights into thehistory of the Civil War.

 People interested in 
participating in the project cango to its Zooniverse website,
“Decoding the Civil War,” takea brief tutorial that explainsthe process for transcribinga telegram, and find furtherinformation on the project. Ifparticipants are interested injoining discussions on particulartelegrams, then they will need tocreate a user name and passwordby registering with Zooniverse.

 The transcribed telegrams 
will be openly available to 
scholars and others interested 
in telegraphy, cryptography, 
wartime communications, 
technology, civilian-military 
relations, and many other 
aspects of the U.S. Civil War 
or American history more 
generally.

 The project is partially fundedby a two-year federal grantfrom the National Historical 
Publications and Records 
Commission.
