Know how to read cursive? The National Archives wants you
The National Archives needs help from people with a special set of skills–reading cursive. The archival bureau is seeking volunteer citizen archivists to help them classify and/or transcribe more than 200 years worth of hand-written historical documents. Most of these are from the Revolutionary War-era, known for looped and flowing penmanship. "Reading cursive is a superpower," Suzanne Isaacs, a community manager with the National Archives Catalog told USA Today. "It's not just a matter of whether you learned cursive in school, it's how much you use cursive today."
