We are excited to announce that the newest campaign to join the Library of Congress By the People volunteer transcription initiative is the AFC’s own Chicago Ethnic Arts Project Collection! Since 2018, By the People invites one and all to transcribe, review, and tag digitized pages from the Library’s collections, and be part of this popular effort in enhancing collection accessibility – improving search, readability, and engagement with handwritten and typed collection documents for everyone. As the By the People webpage states: “transcriptions are made and reviewed by volunteers before they are returned to loc.gov, the Library’s website. You don’t even need to create an account to transcribe, but registered users can also tag and review other people’s transcriptions.”
