I am transcribing bird migratory information for the Bird Phenology Program. Through 1880 until 1970, birdwatchers from around North America apparently recorded their observations on cards and sent them in to the USGS. They've held onto these cards, some 6 million of them, for years, and have now decided to put them all in digital form. They have a system where volunteers can logon to their computers, view the cards (that other volunteers have scanned in), and type in the information. What better way to volunteer than by sitting on your own couch? I'm pretty excited. I like birds, and I've been wanting to find ways to volunteer. Its also kind of neat, looking at cards writen by people over a hundred years ago. Pretty amazing.
