# Citizen Science

**Citizen Science** in the context of art history refers to the active participation of the general public in scientific research. 

In the [[transraz]] project, this is implemented via a participation platform where private citizens can upload their own historical photographs or documents. This allows researchers to access non-archival sources and increases the accuracy and detail of urban historical reconstructions.
