Camp Day 20: Volunteer Work

It’s Adventure Day!

Today’s Activity: Help make history searchable.

Stuck home but want to feel like part of something bigger?

The Library of Congress’ “By the People” project gives you the opportunity to transcribe and tag important historical documents, no experience necessary.

There’s a wide range of topics you can contribute to, from suffragettes to folk music to the Civil War. You’re helping historians learn more about the past, and you may learn something along the way.

Discover something interesting? Tag us on Instagram @sleepathomecamp. We’ll share our favorites in a future update.
