What is the technology behind the By the People crowdsourced transcription program?

By the People runs on Concordia, an open source software developed by the Library of Congress to power crowdsourced transcription. The code is visible and free to reuse: Visit our Github repository for more information.

The platform was built utilizing user-centered design with a focus on building trust and approachability. The platform was developed to meet the Library's specific needs, but we welcome modification and use by other institutions and individuals! Everyone is welcome to give feedback about how we can improve the platform. Be in touch!
