  • Overall: 45% of the 7,464 manuscripts uploaded to the website have been transcribed thus far.

Boxes 46 and 116 were the most heavily transcribed this week, while Box 73 is now only 20 manuscripts away from completion.

Thanks again to Anna-Maria Sichani for all her help in maintaining Transcribe Bentham during the lest seven days.

Finally, thank you – as ever – to all those volunteers who have given their time and effort in transcribing material during the past seven days. It remains, as ever, greatly appreciated.
