On Tuesday 24 September 2019, the new Transcribathon tool was inaugurated with a Mini Transcribathon at the ÖNB in Vienna. Eleven Teams competed in transcribing documents in various European languages from the Europeana 1989 Collection. The Mini Transcribathon was introduced with presentations reflecting on the Fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 and the importance of the disclosure of crowdsourced materials for the common European cultural heritage. The event was concluded with the award ceremony and a celebratory reception. Congratulations to all Teams for their great perfomance, with a special remark to Team6 which passed the line with 10,861 characters!
