Crowdfuelled and Crowdsourced archaeological data

You can assist existing research projects with tasks that need human intelligence, such as the accurate location of artefact findspots or photographed scenes, the identification of subject matter in historic archives, the masking of photos meant for 3D modelling, or the transcription of letters and catalogues. Other tasks might require on-location contributions by members of the public, such as submitting your own photographs of particular archaeological sites or objects. By contributing to a MicroPasts project you will:

Have a direct impact on research in archaeology, history and heritage

Help with tasks that computers cannot do

Develop skills that interest you

Produce results that will be open and freely usable
