I'll be presenting on crowdsourced transcription at the Midwest Archives Conference Fall Symposium next week and would like to spend some time on Wikisource and examples of small-to-medium sized archives working with Wikisource to transcribe handwritten material.
I know about the US NARA-Wikisource example--though it's a bit too big to be relevant for my audience--and really like the Archives departmental des Alpes-Maritimes on Wikisource.fr (see http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Partenariats/Archives_D%C3%A9partementales_des_Alpes-Maritimesand http://manuscripttranscription.blogspot.com/2012/04/french-departmental-archive-on.html) Are there other good examples of libraries and archives working with Wikisource for handwritten material I should point to? Are there "how to"s similar to the GLAM-Wiki guides? I'm fine dealing with French, German, or Spanish, but suspect my audience would prefer Engish-language projects.
