What was the first document you transcribed?

Mine was Apple and Fruit Exhibit, Paris https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5711557

but my favorite was part of President Hoover's engagement calendar: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/18514973

The first transcription I did was captions of Forestry photos.  I love them because they are a quick transcription and I love looking at the old photos.  There are more than 6000 in this series so hopefully people will keep transcribing them!  Until the series is finished they will be a part of transcription missions.  Transcription Missions

My first transcription was writing captions for military photographs at the Eisenhower Presidential Library. They were Army Unit Records from the 99th and 83rd Infantry Divisions. It was interesting looking at so many pictures of troops in Belgium before and during the Battle of the Bulge.

I think my first were some of the Truman menus: https://catalog.archives.gov/search?q=truman%20menus&rows=20&offset=0&tabType=document&facet=true&facet.fields=oldScope,…  They are short and easy and I love seeing what Truman ate in 1948/1949. I love what was considered vogue then.

According to my profile, a list of appointed chaplains from 1861-1865. But I don't remember working on it. Otherwise, I did something in every category for last week's Sunshine Week.

My profile indicates a couple of earlier small efforts, but the first major one was the Description of the ENIAC: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/24519335
