World Archives Project

Over the weekend the challenge was for all of the Rhode Island Vital records projects – we keyed them quickly and are having some challenges getting them finished in the review stage.

We completed 193 review image sets for a total of 16,000+ records, and a few keying image sets.   The records we have show that approximately 174 hours were spent keying and reviewing – not including time spent offline – which is the equivalent of 7+ full days.  Although I know the amount of time spent on this project will likely decrease I am hopeful that we will have contributors continuing to review these projects on a regular basis.

And now for the winners:

Keying: Charlotte S of Missouri

Review: Paul D of Oregon

Thank you to all who participated!
