Methodology

Our workflow is as follows:

1) Research, locate and obtain images of a letter or other manuscript

2) Catalogue metadata and images of manuscript in project database

3) Volunteers produce basic (Level 1) transcript of manuscript

4) Researchers produce corrected (Level 2) transcript with scholarly endnotes

5) Wallace specialist (the project's Director) edits Level 2 transcript focussing primarily on the endnotes. The resulting document is a publishable quality (Level 3) transcript

6) Level 3 transcripts are then formatted for publication in The Correspondence of Alfred Russel Wallace
