Love the backyard birding project. It raises important questions and some answers about the emerging role of mobile tech in citizen crowd sourcing of content. We’ve begun some discussions about this potential at the Holocaust Museum. Of course, the usual issues of authenticity, authority and accuracy, and historical sources vs created content need to be hashed out. If interested, I’d be happy to delve a little deeper into our concept of “citizen history” and the Children of the Lodz Ghetto moderated crowd-sourcing project.

Finally, if anyone is planning to attend the DML conference in March and wants to form a panel on this topic, let me know!
