Update: November 2025
The amazing volunteers are working so quickly that I have not been able to keep up with field journals! This week I will be adding more journals so the project can keep churning along.
Update: September 2025
Our volunteers are making amazing progress on the field journals! More transcriptions have been added to Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) and can be viewed at the links below. BHL's feedback page allows viewers to alert staff to transcript errors, so we can continue to improve our transcripts over time. Our project is ongoing with no planned end-date, so we will do our best to continue adding field journals as time allows. Thank you to everyone for helping!
- Francis Bond, Venezuela expedition notebook, 1911
- Samuel Washington Woodhouse, Central America Expedition Diary volume 1, February 19, 1853 - July 2, 1853

Thank you to everyone who worked on our William Bartram Diary, volume 3!
Thanks to your efforts, the transcription is available on Biodiversity Heritage Library (click here to view). Click on 'Show Text' in the right-hand corner to see the transcriptions provided by AI and our wonderful Zooniverse volunteers!
We will continue adding more journals over the next few weeks and figuring out ways to improve our data aggregation process. Check back for updates!
