Greetings from the Wikimedia Foundation's Culture and Heritage team. We're

The Wikisource Loves Manuscripts
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Loves_Manuscripts> project aims
to foster collaboration among communities interested in digitizing and
transcribing manuscripts on Wikimedia platforms (Wikimedia Commons and
Wikisource) but also to support the creation of Handwritten Text
Recognition (HTR) models using the newly introduced Transkribus engine in
Wikimedia OCR
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/07/13/enabling-handwritten-text-recognition…>
.
The official launch of the network is scheduled for *September 2023*, and
this is your last opportunity to be part of the first cohort. Take
advantage of this chance to be a part of WiLMa Learning Partners Network
and contribute to digitisation efforts alongside like-minded individuals.
