So for National STEM Day yesterday my work was highlighting a lot of remote/social distanced volunteer opportunities, and I wanted to share the one I ended up signing up for: Digital volunteering at the Smithsonian, specifically transcribing documents in their archives.
It looks like this has been going since 2013 and while a lot of the pages are not terribly exciting it's still overall really neat to be transcribing some of these, or even just getting to look at some of them.
After poking around and seeing most of the biology ones were complete (boo), I found a request for the documents of the Women Computers at Harvard, including Annie Jump Cannon! So probably going to work on that one, currently have a page of calculations from 1905 on my other tab.
