An ambitious project to gather information from 1000s of military personnel files - of those who served in the New Zealand military in World War I and the South African War - needs your help.
The files have been digitised by Archives New Zealand, but international researchers and citizen scientists are needed for the time-consuming work of transcribing the information.
Measuring the Anzacs started back in 2015 but due to the volume of files needed to be transcribed and more recently the pandemic only around 12 percent are done and dusted.
The Zooniverse online citizen science webpage is the main outlet for the team spearheading the project. To get involved go here.
One of the project leaders Evan Roberts - who's based at the University of Minnesota - joins Lynn Freeman.
