Classification data from all three projects was analyzed as a part of Engaging Crowds and this analysis is described in the project's final report, which will be available on the Towards a National Collection website.
This page provides access to the data used for the analysis, comprising descriptions of the classifications made by the volunteers who contributed to all three projects. We are hugely grateful to everyone who contributed.

HMS NHS invites volunteers to transcribe 100 years of seafarer’s medical data from the Dreadnought Seamen’s Hospital at Greenwich. The project is led by Royal Museums Greenwich.
This page provides access to the document images for HMS NHS and to the data transcribed by project volunteers. We are hugely grateful to everyone who contributed.
The 'part 2' data consists of all classifications for volumes 19-34, inclusive.
Data from 'test' workflow versions are excluded.
The 'part 2' data does not overlap with the 'part 1' data except that the classifications with ids 392796932 and 392798956 also appear in 'part 1'.
Pseudonyms based upon hash of IP address (that is, pseudonyms with prefix 'anon:') are thought not to be comparable with pseudonyms from other data drops of this project.

Download screenshots of guidance given to volunteers as zip or tar.xz. This guidance describes the phase 2 workflows, but guidance for phase 1 will have been similar. One notable difference is that phase 1 workflows do not have extra entry boxes for unusually long columns.
HMS NHS has a large number of workflows. We have recorded three tutorial videos to be representative of the kinds of workflows included in the project. Details of all of the workflows in phase 2 can be seen in the screenshots of guidance, linked above. Admission Number Video walkthrough of 'Admission Number', a number workflow. Name Video walkthrough of 'Name', a text workflow. Quality Video walkthrough of 'Quality', a dropdown workflow.Watch videos demonstrating the project by clicking here.

Many of these videos also demonstrate subject set selection and subject filtering in the index. Volunteers could sort and filter the subject index by any of the headings. Pop-ups were displayed for completed subjects. These videos were recorded after the project had completed, so you will see rather more of these pop-ups than a volunteer would have. Completed subject sets were greyed out in the subject set index. Again, because these videos were recorded after the project had completed, most subject sets are greyed out. Geography (Cultivated: No) Demonstrates the Geography workflow for an uncultivated specimen. Geography (Cultivated: Yes) Demonstrates the Geography workflow for a cultivated specimen. Geography (Cultivated: Not Sure) Demonstrates the Geography workflow for a specimen with incomplete information. Latitude (Not present and in degrees) Demonstrates the Latitude workflow for two specimens with no latitude/longitude information, and for a specimen with latitude/longitude given in degrees and minutes. Latitude (Decimal) Demonstrates the Latitude workflow for a specimen with latitude/longitude given in decimal format. Paging Demonstrates the paging feature that was introduced for this project, allowing volunteers to page backwards and forwards through related records.Watch videos demonstrating the project by clicking here.
