Smithsonian Transcription

The Smithsonian Transcription Center is a free publicly accessible webpage that hosts digitized collections from the Smithsonian. Their Digital Volunteers projects allows people to contribute to the digitization and transcription of these materials into their online database. To get started with this project visit their webpage here.

Hours can be logged and submitted to our spirit point tracker here. This tracker will ask you to attest to the number of hours you completed and for you to share a couple of sentences about your experience with the project.

Philanthropy Pins

We have partnered with Indigenous Garden Network, an organization dedicated to "provide accessibility to land and “first foods” for tribal communities. First foods are plant and animal species that Native Americans traditionally relied upon for subsistence, medicine and ceremonial uses. "
