Progress update, 25 to 31 August 2012

By Tim Causer, on 31 August 2012

Welcome to the progress update for the period 25 to 31 August 2012, during which time fantastic progress has been made.

4,168 manuscripts have now been transcribed or partially transcribed, which is an increase of 76 on this time last week. Of these transcripts, 3,949 (94%) are now complete and have been locked. We should, all being well, be able to say this time next week that our 4,000th transcript has been locked.

  • Box 2: 336 manuscripts transcribed of 532 (63%)
  • Box 27: 348 of 350 (99%)
  • Box 35: 266 of 439 (60%)
  • Box 50: 60 of 92 (65%)
  • Box 51: 150 of 940 (15%)
  • Box 62: 53 of 565 (9%)
  • Box 70: 172 of 250 (49%)
  • Box 71: 651 of 665 (97%)
  • Box 72: 606 of 664 (91%)
  • Box 73: 151 of 151 (100%)
  • Box 79: 122 of 199 (61%)
  • Box 95: 80 of 147 (54%)
  • Box 96: 526 of 539 (97%)
  • Box 97: 32 of 288 (10%)
  • Box 98: 9 of 499 (1%)
  • Box 100: 89 of 433 (20%)
  • Box 115: 263 of 307 (80%)
  • Box 116: 216 of 864 (24%)
  • Box 139: 38 of 38 (100%)
  • Overall: 52% of the 8,068 manuscripts uploaded to the website have been transcribed thus far.

Boxes 51, 79, and 115 were the most heavily transcribed during the past seven days; 13% of the manuscripts from Box 79 were transcribed this week, and at that rate, the whole box will be finished within a few weeks!

Thank you, as ever, to all who have so generously given their time to Transcribe Bentham during the past week. We remain extremely grateful.
