A few years ago the Library of Congress introduced a crowd sourcing task called
Crowd. The purpose of the task is to enlist the help of the general public to transcribe thousands of primary source documents that are housed by and have been scanned by the Library of Congress. Throughout the years there have actually been collections of documents from the American Civil War, documents from the American Revolution, presidential documents, files about suffrage, and documents about the combination of Major League Baseball. Presently, the LOC is looking for assistance transcribing a collection of
Walt Whitmans notes and diaries..

Applications for EducationThe LOCs Crowd task is an excellent chance for high school students and some intermediate school trainees to learn more about Walt Whitman while contributing to a national task. All of the collections in Crowd do have timelines and some other resources that help to supply context for the files that are in requirement of transcription.
The Smithsonian has a similar crowdsourcing job called Smithsonian Digital Volunteers.
