Choose a workflow

Get Started!

We are transcribing entries from the Admissions Registers of the Dreadnought Seamen's Hospital, which provided medical care to seafarers from all over the world entering or leaving the busy port of London for over 150 years. The records form an almost unlimited number of case studies on the health of the maritime world for over a century. We want to make this data available for the research community.

Each page has a number of columns, with details about hospital patients. These would take a long time to transcribe in full. To break this down, we've made one workflow for each column in the registers. You can choose the one that interests you most, and try another whenever you like!

Each workflow has a short 'Tutorial' to get you started, together with a Field Guide containing more detailed guidance. Choose the workflow that interests you most and start transcribing!

FINAL NOTE: To complete each workflow, you will need to PAN and ZOOM over the image frequently. This is MUCH easier with a mouse, than a laptop touchpad!
