By the People invites the public to help transcribe digitized Library of Congress collections online at crowd.loc.gov. Since 2018, virtual volunteers have completed over 800,000 transcriptions. These improve search, accessibility and discovery for the papers of Theodore Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Walt Whitman and more.
