# 2023 National Book Festival: Get Close-Up With History: Explore, Transcribe, Learn

By the People invites the public to help transcribe digitized Library of Congress collections online at crowd.loc.gov. Since 2018, virtual volunteers have completed over 600,000 transcriptions. These improve search, accessibility and discovery for the papers of Theodore Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Walt Whitman and more. Learn how transcribers impact research at the Library of Congress - and how you can get involved.
