Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
FAQ
How do I get in contact with you?
We encourage you to use the message boards to engage with us!
What are you asking me to do?
We are asking you to identify areas on personnel cards to help us categorize them.
What will you do with this information?
In 2017, we worked with a transcription service to transcribe the written information on the cards. At that time, however, not all punched areas were coded. This project will serve two purposes; 1) to serve as a quality control assessment and 2) to complete the coding of the cards. Once all work is completed, we will freely share all zooniverse data (both raw and cleaned up) with the scholarly community. We will also construct a freely available relational database for people to look up cards by any data point (name, gender, religion, etc.)
What are these cards?
Invented by Leo S. Robinson in 1915 the segregation system allowed for the classification and sorting of information. The YMCA used these cards to account for the explosive growth of personnel brought under its banner during the war effort.
