Digital Possibilities Webinar Series: Tending the Community - Building and Sustaining a Crowdsourced Transcription Project
Newberry Transcribe invites volunteers to help unlock the Newberry Library's handwritten historical collections — one document at a time. In this webinar, Digital Services Librarian Jen Wolfe discusses the philosophy behind the project, the outreach strategies that have built an active volunteer community, and the ongoing work of sustaining a transcription program after launch. Attendees will come away with a framework for thinking about crowdsourced transcription not as a technical problem but as a community relationship — one that remains meaningful even in an age of AI.
