Through the Zooniverse platform, volunteers will highlight issues of health and welfare as they relate to work, food, housing and pollution and sanitation. The result will be a large, robust dataset that will enrich the history of London’s health and which will be of interest to social, local and family historians, epidemiologists, and anyone else with an interest in the topic. The project will be launched in 2017 and will be available via the project website at www.conscicom.org/projects and on Zooniverse at https://www.zooniverse.org Project data will be uploaded to this record upon project completion. Diagnosis London is a collaboration between the Zooniverse, the Wellcome Library and the Constructing Scientific Communities project. The project asks citizen historians to tag information from the Medical Officer of Health Reports of London (recently digitised by the Wellcome Library) which were published between 1848 and 1972.
