Citizen Humanities Comes of Age: Crowdsourcing for the Humanities in the 21st Century
Anatomy Lecture Theatre, kings College London, 9 September 2015
Research in the humanities was once the preserve of an academic and professional elite, conducted in universities, libraries, museums and archives, with clear criteria for belonging to the communities undertaking it.
