A project to co-ordinate efforts to retrieve and present works stored by the National Library of Scotland. Image The National Library of Scotland has a collection of over 3,000 Scottish chapbooks which have been digitised and published on the Library's Digital Gallery. In March 2020, the Library undertook a project to correct the OCR on this collection by uploading them to Wikisource, proofreading them then exporting the corrected OCR and loading it back into the Digital Gallery. The project began during the Coronavirus crisis and had been a useful way of using staff time while they work from home; in the first four weeks of the project more than 60 members of staff had taken part. In addition, it has served as a good vehicle for engaging Library staff with the wider Wikimedia environment.
