As part of the London Seminar in Digital Text and Scholarship series, Professor Philip Schofield and Valerie Wallace will be talking about Transcribe Bentham, a project that uses crowd-sourcing techniques to encourage people outside academia to become part of the Bentham Project; reading and transcribing scans of original manuscripts which then become part of the digital archive.

Valerie Wallace is a Research Associate at the UCL Bentham Project.
