Learn to read Old German Script in Winston-Salem NC this summer.
The Geist Institute's 2018 Old German Script Course will be held in Historic Bethania in Winston-Salem, NC.

Participants meet for 30 hours of group instruction and practice during this intensive workshop. Course instructor Julie Tomberlin Weber, Ph.D., has more than 25 years of experience transcribing manuscripts for the Moravian Archives, Old Salem, Inc., and numerous researchers.
