Company description
Open Data Rescue (ODR) is a non-profit organization engaged in bringing together the fields of historical climatology, information technology and archives. ODR seeks to preserve and make accessible historical weather observations held in various archival institutions. It does by capturing images of the historical documents and transcribing the data into a publicly accessible database for researchers and the general public.
Job description
Project Description: Historical weather and climate data is important for us to understand how the climate is changing over the past decades and centuries, and how today’s climate is different from that of the past. Past weather observations were recorded on paper records, and need to be made machine readable in order to be analyzed scientifically. In partnership with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), 19th century records from across Canada have been located in archives and are ready to be transcribed.
Job Description: The successful candidate will be reviewing completed transcriptions, ensuring the accuracy of transcribed data by contract transcribers. This will involve reviewing the image compared to the transcriptions, checking the cloud and wind fields line by line, resolving any ‘illegible’ values, and logging all errors in an error log before correcting mistakes. The successful candidate will be expected to report weekly to administrators regarding errors that are becoming routine in order for workflows to be created. Training will be provided.
