'What do you wish you'd known about building a project on Zooniverse?'

Got lessons learnt or tips to share? I've posted on the Zooniverse forum zooniverse.org/talk/18/3010068 and can copy back any suggestions from here too

Really enjoyed 'Creating user profiles based on citizen scientists' engagement patterns' presented by
Coen Van Galen and written with Thunnis van Oort, Montserrat Prats López, Ganzevoort Wessel, Rick Mourits. Loved their thoughtful attention to the language used to describe profiles of volunteer behaviour

It's reminded me that I've shared 'Summary results from a survey of contributors to Living with Machines Zooniverse crowdsourcing projects' that includes questions on volunteers using (or not) the project forum bl.iro.bl.uk/concern/datasets/

I'm super-excited to launch a White Paper by me, @sam and @meghaninmotion at today:

'Recommendations, Challenges and Opportunities for the Future of Crowdsourcing in Cultural Heritage: a White Paper' doi.org/10.21428/a5d7554f.2a84

In some ways it's an open letter to funders and organisational leaders about how they can support sustainable development and innovation in the field; with calls for better evaluation; skills and working with AI / machine learning etc.

Have thoughts, examples to share? You can comment on the doc!

I quite like 'Participatory Humanities' as a riff of Participatory Sciences and Public Humanities.

And the distinction between the name of the field and what you call projects to invite participation and/or funding is very useful

What do other folk think?

Because were asked recently, I've shared a link to the References section of our Collective Wisdom handbook, and to the Zotero library we created while writing it: collectivewisdomproject.org.uk

It's full of goodness!

New blog post and a request for help - I'm looking for examples of national portals / infrastructure / support for citizen science / crowdsourcing projects

openobjects.org.uk/2023/01/nat

So far I have France and Slovenia - does your country have one that I haven't found yet?

I was once called an “interstate amateur art historian” in the press. My partner then gave me this T-shirt. I don’t think of myself as an historian, but I do admit to being interstate!

I think of myself more as an analyst in an historical sandpit. Also an “undollared scholar”.

I just finished reading “Rising Tensions in the New Age of the Everyman (and -woman) Historian: Why I’m Reluctant to Claim the Title Historian”, a chapter by Paul Daley in “The Australian History Industry” (2022).

Daley: “Labels, ultimately matter little. It’s what you bring to the table that counts. And there are plenty of seats.“

Borrowed from Libraries ACT.

I'm slightly envious of the apparent coordinate approach to citizen science / citizen history / crowdsourcing in France, with their 'network of actors committed to participatory science in the fields of culture' and index of projects participarc.net/articles

New blog post for @LivingWithMachines on 'Working with the Zooniverse's Caesar system for crowdsourcing workflows' livingwithmachines.ac.uk/worki

Caesar is super-powerful for processing Zooniverse results, but it's a bit hard to get into. We hope this post helps.

I'm speaking at the Colloque de clôture du projet Testaments de Poilus today

archivnat.hypotheses.org/2507

Florence is tweeting some of it live twitter.com/FloClavaud

I've been doing my best to follow the presentations in French by copying and pasting live transcriptions into Google Translate. It's not perfect but I'm blown away by the strategic, coordinated approach from French national and regional archives to including digital public participation and volunteering in their work to make collections accessible and discoverable

I don't think I've seen one already and I miss the network of GLAM and DH folk in crowdsourcing / citizen science / citizen history from twitter... so I've done that 'add your name to a list of cool folk' thing:
