mastodon 4.7.3Crowdsourcing projects at the British Library
Have you checked out Sak Supple's https://blplaybills.org/ lately? He's been experimenting with semantic search, and improving OCR for British Library playbills.
A big boon for #TheaterHistory / #TheatreHistory!
Please let him or us know if you have feedback or ideas
Sak has updated the interface on his site for searching British Library playbills - it's more mobile/tablet friendly, and has all kinds of search options to play with!
