Help us fuel the research of museums and heritage institutions
A collaborative opensource citizen science powered project, built on a partnership between volunteers and professionals
What have we created with the crowd?
Our dedicated team of volunteers have transcribed over 30,000 index cards from the British Museum, enabling the creation of a searchable database of Bronze Age Metalwork in Britain.
The crowd enabled the Egypt Exploration Society to transcribe 1,000s of pages of their scanned archive, which is available on Flickr.
Using the power of the crowd, we enabled large scale masking of photogrammetry images which were then used to create 3D models of the objects.
Featured project: Faces of Corbridge
Excavations at Corbridge between 1906 and 1914 uncovered the spectacular remains of the most northerly town in Roman Britain. The names of the lead excavators are well known, however much (if not all) of the hard graft of moving the tonnes of earth was carried out by local labourers. Unfortunately these men remain almost completely anonymous other than one or two names.
Photographs from the excavations show many of the faces and we would love to be able to identify these men. Putting names to these faces would add to our archive, and might also lead to further information about the work on site, as well as finally giving credit to those men who excavated this wonderful site.

Maybe you have a project that needs some citizen science power?
Get in touch, we might be able to help you with advice, the use of our platform, our code or maybe some consultancy. We're always willing to chat, and open to new ideas and collaborations. Our project is funded by the core team, so funded research is a high priority.
