Our survey is extended to April 30! We're keen to hear from projects that 'failed' to integrate #crowdsourced or #MachineLearning #AI enhanced collections records, are still in progress or 'completed' a long time ago, and from @Transkribus @FromThePage @the_zooniverse projects

Our thanks to everyone who's already shared their experiences with integrating enriched collections data with digital collections platforms! We have responses from Europe, the UK, US, and we're keen to hear from Asian and African projects

What happens after a project has data enriched by crowdsourcing and/or machine learning/AI? Does the data end up in a collections management system, or sit on a drive somewhere? Share your experiences with successes and failures in ingesting enriched data forms.gle/JgArpbL6VNM6W3Vk9

Did you miss it? @twistedsweeter has made his blplaybills.org/ site available again - search the OCR of about 80,000 theatrical English, Scottish, and Irish playbills between 1600 and 1902 (mostly 19th century) Spread the word, #TheatreHistory #TheaterHistory folks!

As we're almost at the end of our massive collection of articles from 19th century British newspapers, it's almost your last chance to get serendipitous glimpses of history... Like this list of patents from women inventors zooniverse.org/projects/bldi… from 1884

Thank you everyone who reviewed a few old newspaper stories yesterday! Our main task is now 85% complete. Can you help record the place where an accident happened to give our researchers lots to work with on Monday morning? Every single article helps! zooniverse.org/projects/bldi…

Our researchers are ready to analyse @LivingwMachines accidents data next week. Can you help us finish our crowdsourcing tasks by then? Our main task is 76% complete. If you love old English place names, 'where were accidents reported?' is 82% complete zooniverse.org/projects/bldi…

Summer might feel a while away yet, but the @LivingwMachines project is racing against the clock to complete crowdsourced tasks in time to analyse the data. Can you help us get place names where accidents were reported in 19th century newspaper articles? zooniverse.org/projects/bldi…

Thank you to each and every one of the thousands of volunteers who've read old news and helped us find stories about accidents involving machinery! Can you help us understand how machines changed accidents by classifying articles by May 15? zooniverse.org/projects/bldi…

How did newspapers talk about accidents involving machinery in different regions and periods of 19th Britain? How did liberal or conservative papers discuss accidents? Your contributions will help us finalise the datasets we'll use in our analysis and share publicly! #volunteer

Join over five thousand of volunteers at zooniverse.org/projects/bldi… We will use your inputs, combined with cutting edge artificial intelligence techniques, to identify the locations where accidents occurred and analyse how this affected the public reaction.
