cool project, climate change
Apparently this has been around awhile, but it’s new to me: https://www.oldweather.org/
NOAA scientists are asking folks to transcribe old arctic and whaling logs that are difficult to OCR, in an effort to study climate change. There also appears to be a great deal of data that already exists that you can help archive.
I just finished Obra Dinn, which is basically this in game form. I think I might try transcribing a few pages later.
