Examples and strategies for partnering with volunteers in maritime
heritage research This volume is the first to address the ways
maritime archaeologists have engaged citizen scientists, presenting
examples of projects and organizations that have involved
volunteers in the important work of gathering and processing data.
With a special focus on program development and sustainability,
these practical case studies provide reference points for
archaeologists looking to design their own citizen science
projects. In these essays, contributors describe initiatives such
as the Diver-Archaeological Reconnaissance Cooperative (DivARC),
which involves combat veterans in meaningful research missions;
Diving With a Purpose, which trains adults and youth in documenting
and preserving African slave trade shipwrecks; and classroom
education that encourages high school students to develop an
interest in the field. As volunteers learn the scope, goals, and
outcomes of their research, these studies show, they are empowered
to become active participants—and true partners—in scientific
inquiry. Throughout the wide range of experiences represented here,
the chapter authors discuss challenges they encountered as well as
ideas for optimizing future projects and strategies for welcoming
diverse communities to this work. Arguing that these initiatives
will create space for public engagement in heritage research,
management, and preservation, Citizen Science in Maritime
Archaeology serves as a foundation for discussion of this goal.
