# Transcriptiones - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `transcriptiones.ch` ## Description Transcriptiones is an innovative crowdsourcing platform dedicated to the transcription of historical manuscripts, aimed at benefiting researchers and enthusiasts alike. Founded in 2020 by history students Yvonne Fuchs and Dominic Weber at the University of Basel, Transcriptiones emerged from a fellowship at the ETH Library Lab. The project strives to make transcriptions of essential manuscripts accessible, addressing the common issue of unpublished transcriptions that often go unnoticed. This collaborative platform invites users to both upload and enhance transcriptions, ensuring that the valuable research data is preserved and appreciated. Transcriptiones features an advanced search function, allowing users to explore a rich collection categorized by institutions, scribes, and source types. The platform emphasizes community participation, providing tools for individuals to contribute and refine content. Supported by notable academic and financial institutions, including the Max Geldner-Stiftung and the Dr. H. A. Vögelin-Bienz-Stiftung, Transcriptiones is well-positioned to advance historical research and foster a community of passionate scholars and volunteers. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Libraries and Museums _(under Science and Education)_ - 🧪 History _(under Science and Education)_ ## Links - [github](https://github.com/transcriptiones) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idLpZcu1iK/w/5581/h/834/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1790223397078) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Matisse | #1d809f | accent | | Deep Sea Green | #0c5460 | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | ## Fonts - Source Sans Pro — asset _(google)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
