Transcription Projects

Transcription projects are texts backed with facsimiles of a reference edition. This makes it possible to guarantee that a text can be trusted; any modification of the text can be verified instantly, by anyone. Here is a list of transcription projects, sorted by the type of task that is needed. If you start a new project, please report it here. A complete list can be found here.

Finished projects

Proofread once.:

Proofread by many users:

• Indexes that have been Validated

Projects with no scans

Please upload scans of the edition of reference, and move the pages to the corresponding locations

• No scans at all:
  • Index:Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light (1878 manuscript)
• Some scans missing
  • Index:Secret history of the French court under Richelieu and Mazarin (scans are on google books)

Conflicts between different editions

A text in the main namespace is transcluded from an edition of reference. Thus, a unique edition of reference should be chosen for each text, unless the difference between editions justifies to transclude several versions.

• Index:Woman in the Nineteenth Century 1845.djvu and Index:Woman in the Nineteenth Century 1855.djvu (redundant)
• Index:Jane Eyre.djvu and Index:Life and Works of the Sisters Bronte - Volume I.djvu (redundant)
• Index:Wind in the Willows (1913).djvu and Index:Wind in the Willows.djvu (redundant)

Not English

• Index:Q Horati Flacci Carminum librum quintum.djvu : this is latin, except for a Kipling poem; I guess another edition of reference should be chosen for Kipling poems.
