As we head into the World War I years, Jane Addams’ life and her letters go international!
We are looking for someone familiar with German and early 20th century handwriting to work on a document-by-document basis translating German-language documents. At present we have only a handful, letters by women activists like Else Münsterberg of Berlin and Rosa Manus of the Netherlands, and short pamphlets enclosed in Addams’ incoming letters. But we anticipate adding more over the next few years.
If you are interested, please contact Cathy Moran Hajo (chajo at ramapo.edu) to discuss the work.
We have got one! Thanks
Hi Cathy––I’m interested in helping with this project if you need another translator in the future. I’m getting my PhD in German literature, regularly translate from German to English, and am proficient in early 20th century paleography.
Thanks! Will be in touch if we need more help.
