Transcription Desk open for business again!

By uczwlse, on 24 February 2017

Hello!  We’re happy to announce that our Transcription Desk is up and running again.  Our thanks go out to the team at the University of London Computer Centre for resolving our technical difficulties.  The site is open for business as usual and there are thousands of Bentham’s pages waiting to be transcribed!  We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their patience.  As always, if you have any questions or run into any problems on the site, please do send us an email.

Apologies – access problems on the Transcription Desk

By uczwlse, on 24 February 2017

This is just a quick message to apologise to those of you who might have had trouble accessing the Transcription Desk over the past few days.

We experienced a problem with our server which has unfortunately led to the site being down for some periods of time.  The team at University of London Computer Centre are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible – so volunteers should be able to resume transcription soon.  Thank you for your patience.  I will update the blog again once we know more!  But if you have any questions about this in the meantime, feel free to send us an email.
