Great to learn about crowdsourcing Latin American digital archives collecting records about the COVID-19 pandemic https://revista.arquivonacional.gov.br/index.php/revistaacervo/article/download/2297/2361?inline=1 by Ian Kisil Marino

What are the intractable challenges in the future of crowdsourcing in cultural heritage? @sam @meghaninmotion and I proposed:

* Staffing projects is difficult
* Values are maintenance work, too
* Innovation can be harmful when it is not necessary
* Sustainability is a challenge, especially when coupled with innovation requirements
* Innovation can stall if a monopoly of platforms exists
* Who gets to frame the field, and who is left out?
* Too many best practices create overhead to getting started
* People who think 'AI / Mechanical Turk can solve everything'

What do you think? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HNEshEmS01CIdM31vX68Tg90-CNVSY0R2zbd7EUaCIA/edit?usp=sharing

What's the future of crowdsourcing and citizen science in cultural heritage?

I've had a go at it with @sam and @meghaninmotion based on our experience with the Collective Wisdom project - but what have we missed?

Or which of our points do you want to boost? Comment and let us know!

We've made a version commentable on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HNEshEmS01CIdM31vX68Tg90-CNVSY0R2zbd7EUaCIA/edit?usp=sharing

'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 https://www.zooniverse.org/talk/18/3010068 and can copy back any suggestions from here too

Because we 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: https://collectivewisdomproject.org.uk/references-for-our-collective-wisdom-handbook/

It's full of #crowdsourcing #OnlineVolunteering #CitizenScience #CitizenHistory goodness!

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

https://www.openobjects.org.uk/2023/01/national-approaches-to-crowdsourcing-citizen-science/

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