Progress update, 7 to 13 March 2015

By Tim Causer, on 13 March 2015

Welcome along to the progress update for the period 7 to 13 March 2015, during which time further excellent progress has been made by Transcribe Bentham volunteers.

12,652 manuscripts have now been transcribed or partially-transcribed, which is an increase of 58 on this time last week. Of these transcripts, 11,469 (90%) have been checked and approved by TB staff: volunteers will no doubt be glad to hear that we have made a significant dent in the backlog of submissions requiring checking. Thanks again for your patience!

TB volunteers might be interested to read a news story from UCL’s Faculty of Laws, about the recent praise for their work from the German Secretary of State for Education.

In other Bentham-related news, if you’ve ever wondered how the auto-icon sees the world then wonder no longer! The PanoptiCam was recently installed on Bentham’s box: you can keep up-to-date by following @PanoptiStream on Twitter, or taking a look at the time-lapse of each day’s events on YouTube. (This refreshes each day).

Thanks you, as always, to everyone who has so generously given their time to Transcribe Bentham during the last seven days. It is enormously appreciated by us all.

    Happy St Patrick’s Day to all transcribers. JB may not have celebrated this great feast – he called St Pat “a Saint, real or imaginary, of the Romish Calendar”. But we raise a Guinness to him anyway.
