Fill in this short Google Form by midnight GMT February 26th.Read the Book Sprint FAQs to make sure you're aware of the process and commitment required.We have a generous definition of 'digitally-enabled participation', including not-entirely-digital volunteering projects around cultural heritage collections, and activities that go beyond typical collection-centric 'crowdsourcing' tasks like transcription, classification and description. Your expertise might have been gained through hands-on experience on projects or by conducting research in areas from co-creation with heritage organisations or community archives to HCI, human computation and CSCW. We're looking for participants who are enthusiastic, experienced and engaged, with expertise at any point in the life cycle of crowdsourcing and digital participation.
Participants will have the opportunity to not only create this authoritative text, but to facilitate the formation of an online community of practice which will serve as a resource and support system for those engaging with crowdsourcing and digitally-enabled participation projects. This matches the ethos of the book sprint model, which states that 'diversity in participants-perspectives, experience, job roles, ethnicity, gender-creates a better work dynamic and a better book'.

We have some confirmed participants already – including representatives from FromThePage, King’s College London Department of Digital Humanities, the Virginia Tech Department of Computer Science, and the Colored Conventions Project, plus the project investigators Mia Ridge (British Library), Meghan Ferriter (Library of Congress) and Sam Blickhan (Zooniverse) – with additional places to be filled by this open call for participation.Īn open call enables us to include folk from a range of backgrounds and experiences. Due to the pace of writing and facilitation, participants must be able to commit to five and a half days in order to attend. We've added a half-day debriefing session to the usual five day sprint, so that we can capture all the ideas that didn't make it into the book and start to shape the agenda for a follow-up workshop to be held at the British Library in October. The book sprint will be held at the Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture from 19 – 24th April 2020. Could you be one of our collaborators? Read on! We'll work with up to 12 other collaborators to write a high-quality book that provides a comprehensive, practical and authoritative guide to crowdsourcing and digitally-enabled participation projects in the cultural heritage sector.
One of the key outcomes of our AHRC UK-US Partnership Development Grant, 'From crowdsourcing to digitally-enabled participation: the state of the art in collaboration, access, and inclusion for cultural heritage institutions', is the publication of an open access book written through a collaborative 'book sprint'.
