Thank you all so much for your recommendations and suggestions and sorry for the late reply (have been ill).
Hello Aya,Here at Free UK Genealogy CIO we run three transcription projects (FreeBMD, FreeREG and FreeCEN). I have anecdotal evidence that the family history / genealogy community sees our sites as more authoritative than commercial sites because our transcriptions are better. Most of our volunteers are family historians themselves, so have a vested interest in "getting it right". Plus we have a growing number of quality control tools in place.Best wishes,Pat- -Dr Pat ReynoldsExecutive DirectorA Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales, number 1167484VAT registration: 233 0105 70Join us on social:+44 1723 362616 +44 7943 145387Westwood House,Westwood, Scarborough YO11 2JD, UKOn Fri, 4 Mar 2022 at 12:28, Aya Waly ElDin Sabry via Open-GLAM <open-glam@lists.wikimedia.org> wrote: Hello everyone,______________________________Hope you're all safe and sound.I'm wondering if anyone here is working on crowdsourcing?I'm doing research on how audience participation in crowdsourcing (and citizen science projects) affects notions of (institutional) expertise and authority.I'd like to discuss this with you if you have similar interests.Thanks,Aya Sabry_________________
