Crowdsourced Transcriptions Humphry Davy Notebooks

项目摘要

The Royal Institution of Great Britain (RI) holds an unparalleled collection of Sir Humphry Davy's notebooks. One of the most famous chemists of the nineteenth century, Davy used these notebooks to record his experiments and to write poetry. There is much evidence from the previous AHRC project on Davy's letters that the public is interested in Davy, in his unpublished manuscripts, and, particularly, in his poetry and its relation to his science. Davy's notebooks have yet to be transcribed and they are only available to readers who visit the RI archive in person. This project will crowdsource transcriptions of five of Davy's notebooks from the Zooniverse (https://www.zooniverse.org/) community of 1.7 million registered volunteers. High-quality images of the manuscripts will be produced and made available on a freely accessible website accompanied with the transcriptions. This current project will ask the Zooniverse participants to reflect upon how poetry helped construct scientific knowledge using the example of Davy, and to think about how the arts and sciences might work together today. Digitising the notebooks makes them available to a much larger audience and creates a resource for future research. It also means that the manuscripts themselves, which are very fragile, can be carefully preserved by the RI while promoting their historical holdings to the world. The Zooniverse participants will learn new skills with an innovative new project builder created to render Davy's notebook page on screen. Previous surveys of the Zooniverse community have found that, overwhelmingly, people engage in transcription projects because they enjoy contributing to a scholarly endeavour. Related activities pursued during the previous grant demonstrated how transcription can be both personally satisfying and confidence-building. Learning about Davy caused people to change their minds about the idea of science and the arts as 'two cultures'.

大不列颠皇家学会（RI）拥有无与伦比的汉弗莱·戴维爵士笔记本收藏。作为世纪最著名的化学家之一，戴维用这些笔记本记录他的实验和写诗。有很多证据表明，从以前的AHRC项目戴维的信件，公众感兴趣的戴维，在他未发表的手稿，特别是在他的诗歌和它的关系，他的科学。戴维的笔记本还没有被誊写出来，而且只提供给亲自访问国际扶轮档案馆的读者。该项目将从拥有170万注册志愿者的Zooniverse（https：//www.zooniverse.org/）社区众包传输戴维的五本笔记本。手稿的高质量图像将被制作出来，并与手稿一起在一个免费访问的网站上提供。目前的项目将要求Zooniverse的参与者反思诗歌如何以戴维为例帮助构建科学知识，并思考艺术和科学如何在今天一起工作。将笔记本数字化使它们可以提供给更多的受众，并为未来的研究创造了资源。这也意味着，这些手稿本身非常脆弱，国际扶轮可以在向世界宣传其历史藏品的同时，小心地加以保存。Zooniverse的参与者将学习新的技能与创新的新项目建设者创建渲染戴维的笔记本电脑页面在屏幕上。之前对Zooniverse社区的调查发现，绝大多数人参与转录项目是因为他们喜欢为学术事业做出贡献。在上一次赠款期间开展的相关活动表明，转录如何既能使个人满意，又能建立信任。对戴维的了解使人们改变了对科学和艺术是“两种文化”的看法。
