The College of Information Studies (iSchool) and the David C. Driskell Center for the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at UMD is looking for volunteers to assist with crowdsourcing the transcription of the David C. Driskell Papers.
According to reported story in the Maryland Today news "The project is an opportunity to address the conspicuous underrepresentation of people and groups who are major cultural contributors, said iSchool Assistant Professor Victoria Van Hyning, whose research interests lie in crowdsourcing methodology to help people gain experience and literacy in deciphering the past, and who is one of the initial leaders of this new effort."
