Thank you for contacting the National Archives, and for your interest in our citizen archivist program. We have many volunteer opportunities to transcribe and tag historical records online in the National Archives Catalog. This work can be done online from any computer, anywhere, at any time. You can do as little or as much as you want. Everything helps!
You can visit our Citizen Archivist Dashboard anytime where we always have missions and individual records to work on. We update this page on a regular basis, so check back often to see what's new.
If you are new to transcribing, take a look at our Register and Get Started page to sign up for an account, and we also recommend visiting our Resources page on our dashboard. This page contains step-by-step instructions and guides to walk you through the process.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at catalog@nara.gov We are happy to help answer specific questions as you begin to contribute. And feel free to send us a note to let us know what you are working on or if you find something unique or interesting - we love to hear from our citizen archivists.
Thank you again for your interest. We look forward to your contributions!
