I came across this information in a news story and had to start sharing it with everyone I know!
Cool Thing I Must Share With You!
Do you know how to read cursive? It has become a skill that fewer and fewer people have, and that means you are special! The National Archives needs volunteers to help transcribe documents. All you need to do is go to their website, create an account, and pick your mission! Here are a few missions I saw that looked interesting:
- Report, "American Press on Divergencies Between the Members of the North Atlantic Treaty," Full Text of 27 November Pravda Article Broadcast by Radio Moscow Transcribe this record.
- Winston Churchill to Franklin D. Roosevelt Transcribe this record.
- Journal of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon Transcribe this record.
If you are a history buff or made a resolution to try new things, here is something you can do, and then you can say you are a part of the historical record! This is the link to the website to sign up: https://www.archives.gov/citizen-archivist/get-started-transcribing
What do you think? If I do this, can I add it to my resume?
I hope you are having a great day! I'm working on my goal to read books I own. Here is this week's read!
