By the People: Volunteer Transcription Workshop - in-person session In-Person
By the People: Volunteer Transcription Workshop
Discover how you can help make history more accessible through the Library of Congress’s “By the People” crowdsourcing project! Join us for this hands-on workshop to explore how volunteers across the country are helping to transcribe historical documents, letters, diaries, and more from the Library of Congress's collections.
Participants will receive an introduction to the By the People program website, learn how the transcription process works, create a volunteer account, and practice contributing to real historical records. Whether you love history, genealogy, research, or simply want to volunteer from home, this workshop is a great way to help preserve the past for future generations. No prior experience is needed.
