 READ-COOP

February 5, 2017

The [Bentham Project](http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Bentham-Project) at University College London and [The Linnean Society](https://www.linnean.org/) have forged a fruitful collaboration as part of the READ project.

The two institutions have worked to create training data for Handwritten Text Recognition on their respective collections and also organised a successful [conference in London](https://www.linnean.org/meetings-and-events/events/what-should-be-in-your-digital-toolbox) in October 2016.
