Thank you all so much for your recommendations and suggestions and sorry for the late reply (have been ill). 

I’ll get in touch with a few of you individually for further chats so I don’t bother the rest. 

Once again, thank you so much!

Kind regards,
Aya

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

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
