/If you can read cursive handwriting, the National Archives needs your help. Cursive is only taught in schools in about 2 dozen states, but there are hundreds of thousands of historical documents that need to be transcribed. This will help history buffs, and Americans who are working on their geneaology, be able to read these documents, which go back hundreds of years. If you want to volunteer, and you have internet access, visit online Archives.gov and scroll down to “Citizen Archives”
