Smithsonian Transcription Center

Happy 10th Anniversary to @NMAAHC! Since 2015, over 77k digital volunteers have worked together to transcribe more than 734k pages within NMAAHC projects. Congratulations to our colleagues and to our volunteers, who have been a critical part of the Museum's story. 🎉

Welcome to the new Smithsonian Transcription Center!

Last week, we unveiled a redesigned website. As you explore, we hope you’ll discover many new details that make transcription easier or more joyful.

We're excited to start this new chapter with you.

The Smithsonian is in the process of reopening and digital volunteering opportunities are now available on Smithsonian Transcription Center. Visit transcription.si.edu to find active projects and get started. Welcome back and happy transcribing!

Due to the government shutdown, we are temporarily closed beginning on Sunday, Oct. 12, along with Smithsonian museums, research centers, and the National Zoo. We do not plan to update social media other than to inform you of changes to our operating status.

Digital volunteering on Smithsonian Transcription Center will continue to be available during the government shutdown through Monday, October 13.

Check our website (transcription.si.edu) for updates.
