Transcribe 8% of Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh handwritten Living Collection archives to train Machine Learning algorithms and unlock the secrets of longevity

Transcribe the Living Collection

There's two options 

1) Cards can be read whole & all required data transcribed (Whole Card workflow & Location, Planted, Dead workflow).

2) Individually segmented data boxes can be transcribed (All other workflows).

These are different workflows designed to appeal to different types of transcriber - the whole record version will appeal to the "completist" who will prefer to transcribe the whole card, one card at a time  - while the "speedster" with a liking for quick data entry will prefer the atomised cards with blanks and recurring data. 
To get started, pick one of the eight boxes below!
