It makes scholarship more relevant, accountable, and resilient in an era of declining funding and public skepticism toward universities. Citizen humanities projects—crowdsourced transcription, oral history collection, community archives, and co-created interpretations—have already produced valuable knowledge that academics alone could not achieve. Greater public involvement also helps counter the perception of elitism and rebuild trust in humanistic inquiry.When the public helps shape questions and share perspectives, research becomes a shared cultural resource rather than a private academic product.https://www.publicbooks.org https://www.citizenscience.org https://historyharvest.unl.edu https://www.zooniverse.org/humanities
