I would like to hire one student per semester in 2010-2011 to pre-pilot crowdsourcing transcription of Laban Morey Wheaton’s daybook, an account book that Wheaton keep at a store that he ran in Norton between 1828 and 1859. This pre-pilot represents a new step in the Wheaton College Digital History Project (WCDH) and is inspired in part by a project at University College London called “Transcribe Bentham”.
