Biography
Louise Seaward joined the Bentham Project in 2015 where
she initially worked on the edition of Bentham’s writings on political economy
and jurisprudence. Since January 2016, she has been the coordinator of the
scholarly crowdsourcing initiative Transcribe Bentham. Transcribe Bentham is
now part of the Recognition and Enrichment of Archival Documents (READ) project. Funded by the EU,
this project aims to make archival material more accessible by training
computers to read handwritten historical manuscripts.
