The National Archives is working with volunteers to transcribe the millions of digitized records in its catalog to improve search results and increase accessibility. There missions What a great way to engage with historical documents (and practice reading cursive!). The Archives has created various transcription missions, including Native American Records, Exploring Space, African American history, and documents from the House on Un-American Activities. I poked around and saw in need of transcription "Letter from Captain John S. Poland to the Assistant Adjutant General of the Department of Dakota in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Which Gives an Account from Seven Sioux Indians of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer's Defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25, 1876" and "U.S. v. Sale of Negro Man, Woman, and Two Children." Below is the National Archives call to action.
