New Library of Congress crowdsourcing platform launches
The Library of Congress recently launched a new crowdsourcing platform, crowd.loc.gov. The platform will improve discovery and access to LC's digital collections, with help from volunteers. The most recent project, Letters to Lincoln Challenge, challenged volunteers to transcribe 28,000 digitized pages written by or to Abraham Lincoln by the end of 2018. Transcribing the handwritten letters makes the text machine readable and searchable to historians and other researchers.
