Library of Congress Launches Transcription Challenge for Native American Heritage Month: Volunteers Sought to Finish the Last 1,000 Schoolcraft Pages on Ojibwe Culture
The Library of Congress announced in November that its By the People crowdsourcing program is presenting a challenge for Native American Heritage Month: volunteer transcribers and reviewers are invited to finish the last 1,000 remaining pages of the Jane Johnston Schoolcraft and Family: Documenting Ojibwe Culture transcription campaign.
The campaign highlights the digitized portion of the Henry Rowe Schoolcraft Papers held in the library's Manuscript Division, focusing on the work and heritage of Ojibwe poet, storyteller and translator Jane Johnston Schoolcraft (Bamewawagezhikaquay) (1800-1842) of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, her Ojibwe family members, and her husband, ethnologist and Indian Agent Henry Rowe Schoolcraft (1793-1864). Volunteers help transcribe and review early nineteenth-century handwritten journals, vocabulary lists, bilingual language notes, draft stories, ethnographic materials and essays related to Ojibwe culture and oral traditions.
The Schoolcraft campaign began during Women's History Month in March 2026, with the goal of finishing it during Native American Heritage Month in November 2026. The library also points readers to the Manuscript Division's Native American resources and its multi-divisional Indigenous Peoples of the Americas resource guides. (Source: Library of Congress)
