This time at home can be difficult. We miss our families, friends, and getting out and about. For those not working or working from home, the struggle to fill the hours with something other than cleaning or watching streaming documentaries about tigers is intense.  

These projects from museums, archives, and libraries are looking for volunteers to help transcribe oral histories, tag photos with descriptions, index genealogical records, and more. These are great volunteer opportunities for teens, adults, and seniors – all you need is a computer and internet access. 

Projects from the Library of Congress's By the People virtual volunteering site include:
