This is a volunteer experimental project transcribing academic lectures and putting the transcripts within a MediaWiki website. The content is from HIST 186 International and Global History since 1945 taught by Daniel Sargent at UC Berkeley in the spring of 2012.
The transcription was done using Plover which is part of the Open Steno Project. I also tried out adding headings, links, notes, references, word definitions, and occasionally embedded images and video.
The wiki is not currently world editable, but people can send me email with corrections or comments. In the subject of the email include at the beginning "AcLeTr:". The username for my Gmail address is david.kit.friedman .
Typos and minor errors can most often be corrected quickly, or if there's a broken link and the new URL is easily obtained that could be a good edit to make to a Wikipedia article or a wiki page. More substantial changes and fixes to this wiki may not be worth it though. Depending on how things go I might not get to it for a few weeks or a month.
I tried to contact Daniel Sargent and other people at UC Berkeley on this transcription work at the end of 2018 and at the beginning of 2019, but I didn't get any response.
There are no plans currently to transcribe any additional classes, but that could nevertheless be a possibility for the future.

Brief Postscript: My username on Wikipedia is Jjjjjjjjjj (contribs) and in the course of listening to the lectures and doing the transcriptions I did various Wikipedia editing.

I just submitted a review of the lecture series which is available on the details page on Internet Archive for the course.

For security I changed all the passwords for the accounts on this wiki, but if any of the people to whom I sent login credentials would like to have access or to talk about any changes then feel free to email me at the address mentioned above and include "AcLeTr:" in the subject.
