We’re getting a tour of History Colorado, seeing some of their exhibits and a look at the archaeology lab where the processing, cataloging, analysis, and storage off archaeological material happens!

Is reading cursive your superpower?

Nah? Okay, have a good one.

Oh, you’re still here. Well, we’ve got a project for you! The National Park Service and US National Archives are collaborating on a special project to transcribe the handwritten pension records of more than 80,000 of America’s first veterans and their widows. Not only could you be the first person in 200 years to learn their stories, but your efforts will make a permanent contribution to the nation’s historical record just in time for the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.

Learn how to register and start transcribing at: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/americanrevolution/revolutionary-war-pension-project.htm

P.S. You do not need to be an expert at reading cursive. It may help, but not everything is in cursive. Just saying.
