By the People invites volunteers to transcribe and review digitized letters, diaries, manuscripts, and more from the historical collections of the Library of Congress. Volunteer-created transcriptions are published in Library of Congress digital collections where they improve discovery, readability, and accessibility. The Library of Congress is your national library - be a part of it as you explore and enhance the archives of presidents, icons, and everyday Americans - From Theodore Roosevelt to Walt Whitman, Clara Barton, and Rosa Parks!
