CROWDSOURCING \u2013 THE VOLUNTEERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back in July 2014, the #AskLetters1916<\/a> chat took place around the topic of crowdsourcing Digital Humanities projects. The chat was very animated with contributions from our own community of users and other crowdsourced transcription projects. Fast forward to December 2014, and we turned\u00a0once again to crowdsourcing. However, this time, we decided\u00a0to delve into crowdsourcing from the perspective of the volunteers.<\/p>\n

To help us out with the December #AskLetters1916<\/a> chat, we invited our own super-volunteer, Philip Costello, to lead the conversation. Philip was one of the first volunteers to sign up with the Letters of 1916 project and he works extremely hard transcribing and uploading letters to the system. \u00a0You can read more about Philip’s contribution to the project here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Philip’s chat was a huge success. \u00a0You can catch up with the storified chat by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
