Progress update, 21 to 27 July 2012

Welcome to the progress update for the period 21 to 27 July 2012, during which we have come extremely close to having our 4,000th manuscript transcribed.

3,994 manuscripts have been transcribed or partially transcribed, up 34 on last week’s total. Of these, 3,759 are now locked and complete, an increase of 31 on this time last week.  We should hit the 4,000th transcript early next week, with a fair wind!

• Box 2: 332 manuscripts transcribed of 532 (62%)

For those who missed it, you can read more about Jeremy Bentham’s three heads at the Bentham Project blog. I’m glad to say that our office move (mentioned in the blog) is now complete, though my (new) office does like the proverbial bomb has hit it.

Thank you, as ever, to all those who contributed their time and effort during the last seven days. It remains greatly appreciated.
