You can help us unlock the Smithsonian's visual history by transcribing this log of photographs taken between 1988 and 1989 in order to recover information from our endlessly fascinating visual past! So far digital volunteers have helped us to transcribe 15 logbooks covering 1972 to early 1988. Each entry connects with either one photo or a small set of photos. One in a collection of over three and a half million! Please join us and other volunteers to transcribe this next photo log book.

Capturing this aspect of the Smithsonian began in 1869 when Thomas William Smillie started the valuable photographic catalog. In 1971, the Smithsonian Photographic Services (SPS) was established, continuing the legacy of a century?s worth of photography. Its photographers brought the camera's power to the Smithsonian's unique set of museums, archives and research centers. Their handwritten record, captured in the ?green logbooks,? documents about 3 million photographic negatives. Join our digital volunteers and unlock the only ?key? to these photographic collections.
