Library of Congress Volunteer Services

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Library of Congress!

Volunteer recruitment for the 2026 National Book Festival has now closed. We hope to see you at the festival as an attendee!

If you are interested in volunteering virtually, we invite you to explore our opportunity with By the People, below.

Volunteer Virtually

Volunteer online at By the People, the Library's crowdsourcing project. By the People invites you to make documents more searchable for everyone by transcribing, reviewing, and tagging digitized images of manuscripts and typed materials from the Librarys collections. This work improves search and discovery of this important content. Read more or get started now!
