Summary

  • This dataset is an export of transcriptions for 1,926 images from the Branch Rickey Papers created by volunteers participating in the Library of Congress crowdsourcing program By the People (https://crowd.loc.gov) campaign, Branch Rickey: Changing the Game. It contains text created by volunteers through a transcription and review process, volunteer-created tags, digital collections metadata, and metadata representing the arrangement of the items in the By the People platform, Concordia.
  • This dataset includes transcriptions and data generated from the pages in the By the People campaign Branch Rickey: Changing the Game (https://crowd.loc.gov/campaigns/branch-rickey-changing-the-game/). The campaign consisted of a selection of then available online images of digitized content from the Branch Rickey Papers (http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/collmss.ms000069). The transcription campaign included the scouting reports from the collection's Baseball File series. The reports from the 1950s and 1960s document former player and manager Branch Rickey's skill and candor in analyzing and assessing players and include both famous and unknown players. See the Rickey digital collection for all available online items for this collection, as well as contextual information, such as bibliographic resources.
