Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
18th September 2023: HMS NHS has now been completed! HUGE thanks to everyone who contributed. The data will now be cleaned and formatted, before manual sample checking. We hope to have the data uploaded into the RMG Archive catalogue next year. Keep checking back here for further announcements, and once again, our heartfelt thanks for all your hard work, from the HMS NHS Project team: Trevor, Lucy, Graham and Martin.
Data from the first phase of HMS NHS is now available for Project teams' review and reuse. For details, see the Results page.
The Team
Stuart Bligh- Head of Research and Information, Royal Museums Greenwich, UK (now retired).

He remains actively involved in Archives and follows the project's progress with interest.
Martin Salmon- Research Curator and Archivist, Caird Library, Royal Museums Greenwich, UK. Martin has worked in RMG's Caird Library and Archive collections for 15 years, and is passionate about the research potential of Engaging Crowds and the Zooniverse platform, to reach volunteers globally and make the Museum's collections more visible and better connected with research worldwide.
Lucy Dale- Curator of Maritime History, Royal Museums Greenwich, UK. Lucy has recently joined the project, and initially, will be helping out with enquiries, Data Exports and checking transcription anomalies.
Trevor Nash- Volunteer Co-ordinator, Royal Museums Greenwich, UK. A veteran of several volunteer transcription projects, Trevor handles the volunteers' TALK enquiries.
Dr. Quintin Colville- Senior Research Associate, Royal Museums Greenwich, UK.
