We\u2019ve recently announced an exciting new phase of the \u2018Material Culture of Wills\u2019 project \u2013 the launch of our Zooniverse<\/a> site, a \u2018crowdsourcing\u2019 platform that is enabling us to involve hundreds of new volunteers in the project, working with us to transcribe our sample of 25,000 English wills made between 1540 and 1790. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteering for the project on Zooniverse might be of particular interest to students who wish to improve their knowledge of early modern documents and\/or their palaeography skills. Since our site contains transcription guidance and other aids it can also be a very effective teaching tool. To assist any tutors interested in using it in this way we’ve put together a seminar outline which can be used and freely adapted by anyone teaching early modern history, particularly if they explore wills or other personal documents, material culture, family history, palaeography, digital humanities, or public history.<\/p>\n\n\n

The PowerPoint and seminar plan are in the Google Drive folder<\/a> below and include seminar aims and activities, suggested reading, training resources and potential discussion points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
