Citizen scanning[edit]

Systematic scanning of documents and records can be quite challenging for institutions to do, especially if they don't have the funding to pay for technicians to process materials. One option is to organize "citizen scanning", where researchers and volunteers that regularly engage with the institution's collection are encouraged to help with digitizing and entering the content into workflows for Wikimedia Commons and/or other open repositories.
