==Introduction==

This section is to help you develop the skills and knowledge to effectively transcribe the High Court Admiralty material (HCA). To enable you to do this you will need to have

* Some background knowledge of the HCA

* knowledge of Paleography in the 17th century

* Knowledge of the terms and phrases used in the 17th century

Colin has created a section on Introduction to the High Court Admiralty and if you have not already looked at it, I would suggest you do that now. You do not need to have ago at transcribing the documents on there as some of them are quite difficult, but the notes will give you an idea of what the material we will be transcribing is about. If you have time to do a little more reading i would suggest reading [1]. If you have a lot of time Colin has provided a bibliography for you to work through.

The documents that we will be transcribing are the statements from witnesses and as such do tend to follow a pattern, with similar phrases appearing at the beginning and end of paragraphs. This should help to make our task easier when we get to grips with the writing.

To get started go to look at challenge 2 and Challenge 4
