Your article on the digitisation and transcription of German love letters is a wonderful reminder of both the goodwill of the crowd and the pleasures of archival research (Sixty thousand love letters and counting: volunteers help sift through vast German trove of devotion, 3 June).
We at the Bentham Project, based in the Faculty of Laws at University College London, have also benefited from such generosity through our Transcribe Bentham crowdsourcing initiative, which has made available online the vast manuscript archive of the philosopher and reformer Jeremy Bentham.
