Hiring professionals to transcribe historical documents
score:25
Accepted answer
The short answer is yes.
The detail will depend on where in the world you are based. In the UK, for example, we have the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives. Their website includes a search form to help you find a researcher who can help you with this kind of research.
However, having said that, I suggest having a look at the palaeography resources on the UK National Archives website. It can be a fairly straightforward process - when you get your eye in - and it is usually far more satisfying to transcribe these documents yourself.
