I'll be presenting on crowdsourced transcription
at the Midwest Archives
Conference Fall Symposium next week and would like to spend some time on
Wikisource and examples of small-to-medium sized archives working with
Wikisource to transcribe handwritten material.
I know about the US NARA-Wikisource example--though it's a bit too big
to
be relevant for my audience--and really like the
Archives departmental

Alpes-Maritimes on Wikisource.fr (see

Are there other good examples of libraries and archives working with
Wikisource for handwritten material I should point to? Are there "how
to"s
similar to the GLAM-Wiki guides? I'm fine dealing
with French, German,
or
Spanish, but suspect my audience would prefer
Engish-language projects.

Ben,
Speak to John Vandenberg, he has somewhat recently set up
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:WikiProject SLQ
based around the provision of images from the State Library of Queensland.
We also had a crew from University of Colorado Museum of Natural History
(if I remember correctly) working on
