Event Type:
Smithsonian Digital Transcribers
Description
Similar to the Library of Congress Transcribing, the Smithsonian museum needs their own set of transcribers. This is a great way to help out and get volunteer hours. The steps are easy, you just go to their website, https://www.si.edu/Volunteer/CitizenScience, and transcribe documents from home. You can do this at any time, there are no specific time slots or shifts.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please DO NOT sign up to volunteer at any in-person events if you are sick or believe that you have any symptoms of COVID-19. We would never want to put our members at risk in any way, and there are plenty of virtual or at-home ways to earn hours this semester. If you choose to volunteer in-person, make sure you follow all state and county coronavirus guidelines and stay safe when volunteering!
​
Additionally, please do NOT skip class to attend events. If an event takes place during school hours, only volunteer if you're in Running Start/have an alternative schedule that doesn't cause you to skip class!
