Dear Volunteers,
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication on this project. As we were coming to the very end of our double batch of 1940s and 1930s data, we have gone ahead and uploaded the 1920s data and metadata sheet. There are still some 1930s data sheets left in the Leinster Data folder, as soon as these are complete we can get some updates to you on these decades. In the mean time, for those of you interested in finding specific station sheets to digitise, below you will find a list of stations present in each folder.

Dear volunteers,
Thank you for your incredible work digitising Ireland’s historical rainfall records. It is progressing quickly, and we have nearly run out of metadata files.
We are excited to be launching as an official Zooniverse project next week. To prepare for this, and to provide more metadata sheets, we are now uploading data from the 1930s. This means you will be able to digitise data from the 1940s or the 1930s for the next while.
We hope you enjoy taking part in this project.
Ciara and Rhonda.
