A couple of years ago the Library of Congress released a crowd sourcing job called
Crowd. The purpose of the project is to enlist the assistance of the general public to transcribe thousands of primary source files that are housed by and have been scanned by the Library of Congress. Over the years there have been collections of files from the American Civil War, papers from the American Revolution, governmental papers, files about suffrage, and files about the combination of Major League Baseball. Presently, the LOC is seeking aid transcribing a collection of
Walt Whitmans notes and journals..

Anyone can participate in the LOCs Crowd task to transcribe files in the Walt Whitman collection of notes and diaries. Your chosen file will appear on the left side of the screen and a field for writing your transcription appears on the right side of the screen.

Anybody can participate in the LOCs Crowd project to transcribe files in the Walt Whitman collection of diaries and notes.

Applications for EducationThe LOCs Crowd project is a good opportunity for high school students and some middle school students to learn more about Walt Whitman while adding to a national task. All of the collections in Crowd do have timelines and some other resources that assist to offer context for the documents that are in need of transcription.
The Smithsonian has a comparable crowdsourcing project called Smithsonian Digital Volunteers.
