*Crowdsourcing to Preserve Bushman Heritage*

14 November 2012 | by Ngoni Munyaradzi

The Transcribe Bushman project aims at using a crowdsourcing solution to
transcribe the Digital Bleek and Lloyd Collection. This material was
compiled in the 19th century to record the Bushman people’s languages,
stories, and way of life. The transcription project will help preserve
these endangered “click” languages of Southern Africa, as well as teach us
about these cultures’ unique worldview. A citizen science project,
Transcribe Bushman needs your help to reach these goals.
