New version of (originally @ahrcpress funded) @MicroPasts now live. Latest @pybossa, new server, new interface on latest Bootstrap, new functions and a new project for EH's @wallcurator Open to more project ideas - get in touch with me or @JWexlerBM @chiara_bonacchi @ahb108

Looking forward to hearing about everyone's projects. I'm presenting on @MicroPasts with @chiara_bonacchi about how our projects stand on the shoulders of our participants.

Today is the @nat_collection workshop ‘After the crowds disperse: Crowdsourced data rediscovered and researched’ run by @TheBotanics as part of the #EngagingCrowds project. We can't wait to hear what participants have to say about the reuse of #heritage data. #CollectionsUnited
