Thousands of Volunteers Transcribe Notebooks of Scientist Mary Whiton Calkins to Make Her Work Accessible
This week, thousands of volunteers around the world are helping to transcribe thousands of notebooks belonging to the late scientist Mary Anning. Anning, who lived in the early 19th century, is credited with discovering several important fossils and is known as the “mother of paleontology.” The project, which is being organized by The Mary Anning Project, aims to make the notebooks accessible to the public for the first time. The project is a great way for volunteers to get involved in the preservation of Anning’s legacy and to learn more about the discoveries she made. Those interested in helping out can find out more about the project and sign up to be a volunteer at The Mary Anning Project website.
