Progress update, 5 to 11 September 2015

Welcome along to the progress update for 5 to 11 September 2015, a week which marked te fifth aniversary of Transcribe Bentham‘s launch. You can read about the last five years in our entry earlier this week.

Excellent progress has been made by Transcribe Bentham volunteers during the past seven days: 13,760 manuscript pages have now been transcribed or partially-transcribed, which is an increase of 64 on this time last week. Of these transcripts, 12,935 (94%) have been checked and approved by TB staff. The standard of transcripts continues to be astonishingly high.

As always, we are very grateful to everyone who has contributed to Transcribe Bentham during the last seven days. As we pass the project’s fifth birthday we would also like to thank all who have contributed to TB‘s success since September 2010. We are more appreciative than we can ever say.
