Transcribe Bentham progress update, 11 to 17 June 2011

Every Friday, we issue a progress update to keep everyone up to speed with the work of Transcribe Bentham volunteers, and with the project itself. We usually add this to a thread in the project discussion forum, but we will now also add it to the blog each week.

During the past week, the Benthamometer shows that 1,457 manuscripts have been transcribed, 1,216 (83% of those transcribed) of which are locked and complete. Box 115, containing the Panopticon material, has again proven the most popular material to transcribe this week.

The state of progress for each Box of material is as follows:

• Box 2: 165 manuscripts transcribed of 532 (21%
• Box 27: 202 of 350 (58%)
• Box 35: 130 of 439 (30%)
• Box 50: 27 of 92 (29%)
• Box 70: 153 of 250 (44%)
• Box 71: 47 of 665 (7%)
• Box 72: 80 of 664 (12%)
• Box 73: 111 of 156 (71%)
• Box 79: 18 of 199 (9%)
• Box 95: 43 of 147 (29%)
• Box 96: 254 of 539 (47%)
• Box 115: 201 of 307 (65%)
• Box 139: 26 of 584 (4%)

We are delighted at the progress made by Transcribe Bentham volunteers, and would like to thank everyone who has given their time and effort this week.
