Applications for EducationThe LOCs Crowd task is a good chance for high school students and some intermediate school trainees to find out about Walt Whitman while adding to a nationwide task. All of the collections in Crowd do have timelines and some other resources that assist to offer context for the documents that require transcription.
The Smithsonian has a similar crowdsourcing job called Smithsonian Digital Volunteers.

The purpose of the project is to get the help of the public to transcribe thousands of primary source documents that are housed by and have actually been scanned by the Library of Congress. Over the years there have been collections of files from the American Civil War, documents from the American Revolution, governmental papers, files about suffrage, and documents about the combination of Major League Baseball. Anybody can participate in the LOCs Crowd project to transcribe files in the Walt Whitman collection of notes and diaries.
