Mary Church Terrell and German

Sharon McKinley Feb 8, 2019 9:42 AM

Hey, folks! Any other Germanophiles out there? I'm really enjoying Mary's German entries. They're not earth-shattering, but it's wonderful to get a glimpse into her daily life abroad. Her German is quite good, although she definitely writes like an American, which makes her sometimes slightly warped grammar easy for me to understand. But I'm hoping someone will review my transcriptions! I'd love to hear from you.

Hey Sharon McKinley, our colleague David Morris of the European Division was able to transcribe and review many of the German language entries you refer to here, and they are now complete. He also wrote a cool blogpost about his work on the German materials from Lincoln, Civil War Soldiers, and Mary Church Terrell, which you might enjoy reading.

  Thanks, Victoria. I subscribe to the blogs, so I've already read it. The earlier letters are all in that script which is undecipherable to me. I've been reviewing, and so has--someone else! It'll be bittersweet when I say goodbye to Mary's Wanderjahr! It's very funny that she is keeping her Italian journal in German! Hmm, I should write a blog post for you once it's posted.

    That would be great! Please ping my fellow By the People colleagues when you're ready to post -- Carlyn Osborn and Lauren Algee. I'm actually wrapping up here at the Library next week and starting a new role at the University of Maryland. Wishing you all the best.
