Want to make historic recipes? \u00a0Or how about reading handwriting, converting measurements, recreating historic cooking implements, food photography, or writing and blogging?<\/p>\n

300+ years of handwritten cookbooks with thousands of recipes from Chef Louis Szathmary’s culinary collection from Special Collections & University Archives are now online in DIY History<\/a>, the newest transcription project from the University of Iowa Libraries.\u00a0 Helpful people around the world are trying to puzzle out what the handwriting says.\u00a0 But is that where it ends?\u00a0 Unlike letters, diaries, or even menus, recipes are not done even what you can read what it says.\u00a0 They are instructions just calling out to be tested to bring a slice of history back to life one piece of hardtack at a time.<\/p>\n

Sound interesting?\u00a0 Come to the first meeting and have a voice in determining what the group should be.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0 you can’t make the meeting but want to be in the loop, e-mail colleen-theisen @ \u00a0uiowa dot edu to be added to the e-mail list.<\/p>\n
