About the job

I'm running an academic study on how people in the 1800s criticized photography as an art form. I have a spreadsheet of about 3,200 short paragraphs (about 140 words each) taken from Victorian art and photography magazines, published 1839–1900. Each paragraph mentions both photography and art. Your task: for each paragraph, answer one question. Does it contain a negative, evaluative claim about photography as art, craft or creative practice, in the writer's own voice? For example: that photography is mechanical or not real art, lacks imagination or feeling, is a mere copy, or harms painters. You answer Y, N or U (unsure) from a dropdown, and pick a short reason code for N. The paragraph text comes from automatic OCR and has some errors; when it's too garbled, a link opens the original page scan. Full instructions are in the spreadsheet's first tab. NO AI Usage please. your work will help out in a research study. Volume: about 3,200 rows, at roughly 15–25 seconds each, so about 15–20 hours in total. The second hire screens a smaller overlap set of about 700 rows. Paid trial first: 40 rows. Hiring depends on the trial. Deadline: [11/25].
