Transcribe extracts and collect biographical details from medieval records

Get To Know Medieval Londoners

In all of the workflows, you will see an image of an index card containing a handwritten transcription of a medieval property deed.

The tasks in each workflow cater to different skills and interests. The Transcribe workflow involves typing out text from an image. This workflow moves quickly and is ideal for fast typists and those who are good at reading handwriting. The Identify Places involves scanning the text for geographic information. If you're up for a challenge, try Identify People! This task has more steps and requires attention to detail and the ability to make connections between different parts of the text. The Bonus workflow combines all the tasks of the others, but on longer documents. Give this a try if you've got some extra time!
