What happens after a project has data enriched by crowdsourcing and/or machine learning/AI? Does the data end up in a collections management system, or sit on a drive somewhere? Share your experiences with successes and failures in ingesting enriched data

Our survey is extended to April 30!
We're keen to hear from projects that 'failed' to integrate #crowdsourced or #MachineLearning #AI enhanced collections records, are still in progress or 'completed' a long time ago, and from @Transkribus @FromThePage @the_zooniverse projects

So you've done crowdsourcing/citizen science and/or machine learning/AI with museum, library or archive collections. What now?
Share your experiences with enriched data. Our survey takes c15 mins:

Our thanks to everyone who's already shared their experiences with integrating enriched collections data with digital collections platforms! We have responses from Europe, the UK, US, and we're keen to hear from Asian and African projects

Just 812 images to go - hop onboard at zooniverse.org/projects/bldi…

A time of great anxiety. Machines were changing jobs - maybe even replacing workers. And they could be dangerous, harming individuals or even whole communities.
2023? No! See history for yourself by classifying newspaper stories from 19th century Britain

People are great! Thank you everyone who did many or a few articles to get our main 'how did machines change accidents?' task 100% completed!
Can you type in place names or categorise sites where accidents occurred to help us totally finish this project?

And then there was one! Zooniverse estimates it'll take 4 days to complete our final @LivingwMachines task.
If you want to explore British place names and think about the impact of machines on lives in the 19th century, you'd better hurry!

Did you miss it? @twistedsweeter has made his blplaybills.org/ site available again - search the OCR of about 80,000 theatrical English, Scottish, and Irish playbills between 1600 and 1902 (mostly 19th century)
Spread the word, #TheatreHistory #TheaterHistory folks!

Back in May-June 2022 we ran a survey of our @the_zooniverse volunteers. We'll share the summary on the @britishlibrary research repository soon.
In the meantime, the highlights are on our Talk forum zooniverse.org/projects/bldi… #AudienceResearch #CitizenScience #crowdsourcing

As we're almost at the end of our massive collection of articles from 19th century British newspapers, it's almost your last chance to get serendipitous glimpses of history...
Like this list of patents from women inventors zooniverse.org/projects/bldi… from 1884

Thank you everyone who reviewed a few old newspaper stories yesterday! Our main task is now 85% complete.
Can you help record the place where an accident happened to give our researchers lots to work with on Monday morning?
Every single article helps! zooniverse.org/projects/bldi…
