Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing projects help archives to deal with the immense amount of material they need to process. If you can spare even just 15' of your time once in a while, you will make a tremendous difference on these projects currently run by the Archives Portal Europe network:
Automated Topic Detection
We are building a tool that is able to automatically detect archival collections in APE that belong to a specific topic. We need to test it to improve it! Can you spare some time to play with keywords and digital research to help us testing it? All the information are in this blog post about the Automated Topic Detection tool.
If you have any questions about our crowdsourcing projects, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@archivesportaleurope.net
