This document summarizes the Transcribe Bentham project, which uses crowdsourcing to transcribe and encode the papers of philosopher Jeremy Bentham. Volunteers use a MediaWiki platform to transcribe over 4,400 pages. Transcriptions are uploaded to a public digital archive alongside high-resolution images. The project is a collaboration between several University College London departments and receives funding from grants to continue its work of making Bentham's writings openly accessible online.
