Progress update, 14 to 20 March 2015

By Tim Causer, on 20 March 2015

Welcome along to the progress update for the period 14 to 20 March 2015, during which time TB volunteers have made further excellent progress.

12,708 manuscripts have now been transcribed or partially-transcribed, which is an increase 56 on this time last week. Of these transcripts, 11,640 (91%) have been checked and approved by TB staff: we have been able to check a substantial number of the backlog of submitted transcripts, and should be up-to-date during the next few weeks. Thanks again for your patience!

Box 150 progress update

TB volunteers who have been transcribing manuscripts from Box 150 may be interested in reading Dr Michael Quinn’s update on how he is using these transcripts in his work. We are hugely appreciative to everyone who has taken time to work on this material.

UCL Spring closure

UCL closes for the Easter break between 1 to 8 April. During this time, we will be unable to check transcripts, and it may take us longer than usual to respond to any enquiries. Please do accept our apologies for any inconvenience which this may cause. The last progress update before the break will be issued on 27 March, and the first one after the break will be issued on 4 April.

Thank you, as always, to everyone who has contributed to Transcribe Bentham during the last seven days. It remains enormously appreciated by us all.
