CITIZEN SCIENCE AND CROWDSOURCING IN CH. The participation of multiple contributors to a common task is a well established common practice in the cultural heritage domain through crowdsourcing projects. More exotic varieties of crowdsourcing work are the transcribe-a-thons (special sessions organised to produce transcription of a text, either modern handwritten or historical); translate-a-thons (where multiple contributors help to translate major work or a corpus of works) and review-a-thons (where users make systematic review of a translation or transcription). The difference between citizen science and crowdsourcing especially in the Humanities is to some extent blurred. Both refer to activities which include contributions from multiple volunteers who are not professionals in the tasks they contribute to. However, there is one aspect which allows differentiating between these two concepts, Citizen science involves activities and people with a specific research focus and they are organised as a “rule” in a project which is led by a professional researcher. Crowdsourcing benefits instead from the time and skills investment of volunteers but does not aim necessarily to achieve research outcome and it is not coordinated by a researcher. Although the use of citizen science in the Humanities is less popular than in the Sciences, this does not mean that these do not exist. Examples follow:  “Letters of 1916” project, a website which gathers letters to or from Irishmen submitted from all around the world. These letters can also be translated or transcribed by anyone on the website. This project helped shed light on that ear’s lifestyle, thus bringing academics and enthusiasts of those times closer to that era.  “Georeferencing: help us place our digitized maps” is another project which makes use of an online interface and of citizen scientists to decode their data. This project’s aim is to help the British Library identify their historic maps and correctly place them in their modern day location.
