Become a Volunpeer for the Smithsonian! #Volunpeer
Since June of 2013, the Smithsonian’s community of “volunpeers” have collaboratively transcribed and reviewed over a million pages of field notes, diaries, ledgers, logbooks, currency proof sheets, photo albums, manuscripts, biodiversity specimen labels, and historic audio recordings
This is a great opportunity to grab some resume gold, especially if you feel drawn towards handling/interpreting historic documents, manuscripts, or books as a career path. There is no application process or location restrictions; all you need is an internet connection. (Which you obviously have!)
