A huge thanks to all who volunteered for @DouglassDayorg 2025! You transcribed thousands of pages from books and manuscripts related to Black history from @librarycongress. Your efforts make these items more accessible to all!

We're asking you to transcribe and review Clara Barton this month in honor of her Dec. 25 birthday! Read how delving into Barton's papers connects to the humanitarian work of today in a new interview with @RedCross staffer and volunteer transcriber Justin: blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2024…
