Data licensing
All datasets generated from our crowdsourcing projects will be made available under a CC0 license. Datasets created up to 2021 can be downloaded from LibCrowds.
Your contributions
Your efforts will help uncover the level of detail important to researchers: starting with the titles and dates of performances. Who knows what researchers will discover when the collection is more easily searchable?
We hope that in future we can use the results to improve automatic text transcription and make it easier to find individual names, locations and other text.
Key information from individual playbills will be uploaded to the Library's main catalogue to permanently enhance the way these playbills can be found and reviewed. Immerse yourself in the popular entertainment of the past while contributing to future research - get started today!
