## Description

MicroPasts is an innovative crowdfuelled platform dedicated to archaeological and heritage research, empowering citizen scientists to contribute to high-quality projects. Launched in 2013 as a collaborative initiative between volunteers and professionals, MicroPasts harnesses the creativity of the public to aid in the study and preservation of history. Among its noteworthy achievements, the platform has successfully transcribed over 30,000 index cards from the British Museum, creating a comprehensive searchable database of Bronze Age metalwork in Britain. Additionally, MicroPasts supported the Egypt Exploration Society in transcribing thousands of pages from their archives, enriching the accessibility of historical documents. The platform also facilitates the creation of 3D models through large-scale photogrammetry, enhancing the visualization of archaeological artifacts. With projects like "Faces of Corbridge," which seeks to identity local laborers from significant excavations, MicroPasts exemplifies how citizen science can recover and honor overlooked histories. The team welcomes new collaborations and ideas, making it a dynamic resource for anyone interested in archaeology and heritage research.
