Have you ever wondered what happens to a list after it has been transcribed?
Transcribing item/consignment lists is an essential step in archival collection management. It is transcription that shines a light into the archives and unlocks our history,
making records searchable and accessible to current and future generations. This is why the transcription work undertaken by our arcHIVE community is so meaningful.
Once a list has finished being transcribed in the arcHIVE, NAA staff undertake quality assurance checks, before uploading item details to our collection database RecordSearch.
This means the next time someone searches the collection they may get more results, thanks to you!
As at 26 Mar 2024, 1,254,335 descriptions of records have been transcribed through HIVE and added to the National Archives’ online database, RecordSearch.
A big thank you to all contributors – keep up the amazing work!
