Progress updated, 30 August to 19 September 2014

By Tim Causer, on 22 September 2014

Welcome along to a rather belated progress update, covering the period 30 August to 19 September 2014. Firstly, many apologies for the break in the updates, caused by my absence while attending a tranScriptorium project meeting, and then being on leave.

During this period, further excellent progress has been made by Transcribe Bentham volunteers: 10,853 manuscripts have now been transcribed or partially-transcribed, which is an increase of 196 since the last progress update. Of these transcripts, 9,883 (91%) have been checked by TB staff and approved. This figure has increased by 281 since the last progress update, so we are making progress on catching up with the backlog of submitted transcripts – thank you again for your patience.
