That is an interesting project. I would like to take that to the next level, where translation is the easy part. It's converting old handwritten letters, journals, and texts with now archaic cursive, into text. We have fascinating material from before WWII, in various languages - but trying to decipher it accurately, is a challenge. As the older generations died off, it is hard to find anyone to read that text.

My wife has done a lot of genealogical research and has experience with reading cursive text going back to about 1700 in both Dutch and German. (Many Dutch people have German ancestors.) A lot depends on the quality of the scans. You can contact me through the email address mentioned on my website, which is mentioned in my profile.
