Welcome to the progress update for the period 26 May to 1 June 2012, which is our 100th blogpost! Excellent progress continues to be made.

The more detailed state of progress is as follows:

  • Box 2: 330 manuscripts transcribed of 532 (62%)
  • Box 27: 303 of 350 (86%)
  • Box 35: 231 of 439 (52%)
  • Box 50: 58 of 92 (63%)
  • Box 51: 55 of 940 (5%)
  • Box 62: 51 of 565 (9%)
  • Box 70: 169 of 250 (48%)
  • Box 71: 564 of 665 (84%)
  • Box 72: 498 of 664 (75%)
  • Box 73: 138 of 156 (87%)
  • Box 79: 78 of 199 (39%)
  • Box 95: 51 of 147 (34%)
  • Box 96: 521 of 539 (96%)
  • Box 97: 25 of 288 (8%)
  • Box 100: 75 of 429 (17%)
  • Box 115: 245 of 307 (79%)
  • Box 116: 121 of 864 (14%)
  • Box 139: 38 of 38 (100%)
  • Overall: 47% of the 7,464 manuscripts uploaded to the website have been transcribed thus far.

Boxes 72 and 116 were again the most heavily transcribed, while number of others are heading for completion.

As mentioned in last week’s update, Dr Tim Causer gave presentations on Transcribe Bentham at conferences in London and Paris during the week. The session at Paris was recorded, and when the video is made available, we will let you know; those present were very impressed by the level of effort made by TB volunteers over the last two years.

Thank you, as ever, to all those who have given their time and effort to the project during the past week. It remains hugely appreciated.
