The National Library of Wales has launched a new website with names of over 240,000 of the 390,296 women who signed the historic petition demanding world peace in 1923.
Volunteers have now transcribed names on the crowdsourced project. 50,000 signatures have been verified and added to the new website, where users can search for names, houses, streets, and places. This gives people a user-friendly way of finding relatives and places of interest. The woman’s signature can be seen using the link to the original image.
The three top counties with entries are Ceredigion, Gwynedd, Conwy.
The transcription process is ongoing, and new people are being recruited to help complete the project.
