#7dayrevchall

What a weekend! We're crunching the numbers & tallying our 7 Day Review Challenge success. In the meantime, some nifty results and opportunities:

1. The Freedmen's Bureau project with @nmaahc passed the 2,000 pages completed mark with the support of reviewers like you - and we THANK YOU! Find more #FreedmensBureau projects here

2. We kept our focus even while #BirdDay-brained with projects from Alexander Wetmore and Martin Moynihan and Smithsonian Institution Archives. Why not review a page or two of Wetmore's notes?

We’re rounding out the final hours of our 7 Day Review Challenge! Will you join us to wrap up a few more pages and apply your attention to detail by reviewing transcription?

Did you know we’re in the middle of a 7 Day Review Challenge? What’s a 7 Day Review Challenge, you ask? Learn more about why review is so important in this storify. 

One is the loneliest number, for sure. This final page of Jacques Seligmann & Co general correspondence is calling out to join its compatriot pages in the completed state. Jump in to review it here and support @archivesofamericanart in making these records even more useful for provenance researchers.

Our transcribing efforts have left us with a bounty ripe for review! Will you join us to review pages and complete projects so their text can be searched and to create new collection records?

The results are in and it's 971 pages completed in the first two days of our 7 Day Review Challenge - these are phenomenal results! We are so humbled to have so many #volunpeers joining us to help improve Smithsonian Institution collections and research pathways. 

If you're ready to help review now, take a reminder glance at the instructions and tips for the various projects. Remember also that our Bumble Bees and Botanical specimens have multiple arrow tabs to complete.

Now it's time to tally Day 3 numbers for our #7DayRevChall - wish me luck!

They call it the Doppler Effect - but you might call it the sound of our volunpeers racing through transcribed pages as they review in the 7 Day Review Challenge.

We're into the third lap around the Smithsonian Transcription Center projects this afternoon. Days 1 and 2 were busy, with 295 and 224 pages completed by review, respectively - a total of 519 pages in two days! #zoomzoom 

Want to help? Drive on over to https://transcription.si.edu and login or register. Remember, you don't have to register to transcribe - but the bonus of registering is that you can track your work transcribing and reviewing on your My Work page.
