The Project Europeana Transcribe on Transcribathon.eu platform is an online citizen science initiative for the transcription and enrichment of digitised historical materials from cultural heritage institutions from across Europe, which are available on Europeana.eu. Engagement with the platform is supported by events known as Transcribathons, where citizen scientists can participate, compete with each other, and get rewarded for their achievements.

All contributions are open access, and the results can be reused immediately. Read more
