This week’s Chronicle of Higher Education has a piece on NYPL Lab’s What’s on the Menu project, an effort that has been using outsourced information to transcribe and annotate their historical menu collection.
If you’re interested in finding out, say, where you could go to find some Boneless Squab Elizabeth, or if you’re interested in participating in the project by transcribing some of the menus yourself, simply visit the What’s on the Menu website and start browsing.
Interested in getting involved with other projects like these? Check out NYPL Labs main page to see a list of ongoing projects.
