Online transcription of historical maps & documents - Cynefin Project

This is an unique opportunity to volunteer online with the Cynefin project. 

We are looking for volunteers to help transcribe tithe maps and documents from the 1840s.  There are approximately 1,200 maps and 30,000 pages of documents to be transcribed.

Cynefin is a Heritage Lottery Funded project which is conserving, digitising and transcribing the tithe maps of Wales in order to create an innovative online resource that will be free for all to access. This online resource is the first of its kind and it will change the way that people can access and research the history of Wales through tithe maps.

All the volunteering work is done online on the cynefin.wales crowdsourcing website and can be done at a time and pace which suits you.
