Yes! Your Sourcery account lets you make requests and also claim jobs. You can toggle between Requester and Sourcerer mode anytime.

You can find available jobs in the "Find a Job" screen. Select a location and choose the jobs that work for you!

You can scan materials using a free scanning app on a device that has scanning capabilities, like a cell phone or tablet. Keep in mind archival material tends to be very fragile, so you'll want to ensure you are not using flash when making your scans. Our Sourcerer Handbook has detailed recommended steps for creating scans.

Sourcery uses the Stripe platform to manage payments and payouts – you will set up a payout account with Stripe when you create your account. Once you've completed a job you'll have to wait at least 3 business days for Sourcery to confirm your materials. Next, Sourcery will trigger your payout, which you can expect to hit your bank account within14 business days depending on your bank.
