CrimRxiv Consortium partners with Oral History of Criminology Project to transcribe and publish their interview catalog · CrimRxiv

The CrimRxiv Consortium, a network of leading institutions in open criminology, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with its Member, The Oral History of Criminology Project (OHCP). This collaboration marks the launch of the Consortium's innovative “research services” initiative, designed to generate revenue and support its mission. The partnership involves transcribing OHCP’s extensive catalog of interviews and publishing them on criminologystories.com and CrimRxiv. This project serves as a prototype for future research service offerings by the Consortium. This new research services model aims to reduce the Consortium’s reliance on Member fees by offering valuable services to researchers and institutions. For instance, a researcher with a budget for interview transcription could contract with the Consortium, which would then subcontract the work to interested Consortium Members.
