re: #313 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

I would be curious whether or not colleges in their history departments offer any courses on how to read cursive, since you pretty much need to, along with knowing some of the potential pitfalls, in order to read original documentation, and pretty much any documents before typewriters became common place. And even then there was still a lot of cursive materials being created.

None of the departments I’ve been either a student or teach offer any courses like that. Once you decide what research you’re going to do you just figure it out and consult professors who specialize in that area. A friend from grad school used mostly 20th century sources that were typed.
