Help researchers locate the 'Windrush Generation' by transcribing post-war passenger lists

Windrush Generations

Please select a 'workflow' from the list below to get started.  A workflow is, essentially, a specific transcription task that you will be asked to complete.

In each workflow, you will asked you to transcribe all the rows of information in a particular column on a passenger list. You can get a sense of what the information in that column will be from the name of the workflow.

In order to help you choose a workflow, we have classified them according to the skill level required and the estimated amount of time that one cycle of that workflow will take to complete:

(B) = Beginner.  Those who have not previously undertaken any transcription activities;

(I) = Intermediate. Those with some general transcription experience and some experience of transcribing handwritten historical documents;

(E) = Expert. Those with substantial transcription experience and expertise in transcribing handwritten historical documents;

The figures in [square brackets] indicate the estimated amount of time that one cycle of that workflow will take to complete. This is the minimum amount of time you should be prepared to commit if you choose to undertake that workflow. The passenger lists vary considerably in the number of passengers (rows) per page and so the time it will take to complete one cycle of the workflow (which is all of the rows in one column on one page of a passenger list) will vary accordingly.
