In partnership with the Library's Manuscript Division, the Library's By the People crowdsourcing project allows volunteers to transcribe or review pages from the latest Walt Whitman addition from the Thomas B. Harned collection. This addition includes drafts of Whitman's poetry, notebooks with details of his work in Civil War-era hospitals, and correspondence to and from friends. Volunteers have already completed over 900 pages but there are still 1,300+ pages that need someone to start transcribing.
If you enjoy reviewing transcriptions, then head over to the General Correspondence and Miscellany projects. Both have 3,000+ pages in need of review and contain a fascinating mix of all sorts of things, from letters, financial records, Whitman's birthday invitations to train tickets!
