Progress update, 9 to 15 May 2015

By Tim Causer, on 15 May 2015

Welcome along to the Transcribe Bentham progress update for the period 9 to 15 May 2015, during which time further excellent progress has been made by volunteer transcribers.

13,020 manuscripts have now been transcribed or partially-transcribed, which is an increase of 43 on this time last week. Of these transcripts, 12,008 (92%) have been checked and approved by TB staff. This is a doubly-amazing achievement on the part of volunteer transcribers: not only have they broken through the 13,000th transcript mark, but that such a high proportion of their work continues to be approved is a real testament to the quality of their efforts.

Volunteers might be interested to read Dr Michael Quinn’s update on how transcripts from Box 150 are assisting his editing of a volume of the Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham.

And in tangentially-related news, at 7pm on Tuesday 5 May, BBC2 will be showing an episode of Coast Australia showcasing the remote, beautiful Norfolk Island. The episode includes a segment on the Island’s history as a penal settlement, featuring Dr Tim Causer of this parish.
