Opportunities to Volunteer with FreeCen
FreeCEN's aim is to provide a free-to-use-on-line searchable database of the census returns for the whole country. Without the volunteers invaluable support this project would not exist.
Transcribers
We will send you images to transcribe, links to specialist software needed (or you can use a preformatted spreadsheet) and guidance on how to transcribe. We will provide feedback on your first attempts so that you can see if any changes are needed in order to meet our high quality standards. You can join a friendly support group where other volunteers can help you learn, and in turn you will be able to advise others.
