Mission Accessible National Disability Media and History Project

The Mission Accessible National Disability Media and History Project is looking for volunteers to transcribe historical state documents and oral history videos. Transcriptions will be included in a new database and video editor scheduled for launch July 26, 2010, the 20th
anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Volunteers can work from their own computers. This could be a meaningful volunteer project for students with disabilities in work-based learning and other secondary transition programs. Participation would allow students to develop and use their reading, keyboarding, and other job skills and could serve as a springboard to discussions of disability rights and the disability rights movement.  Our Story also needs technology volunteers to lead in creating a beta site that will make its archives available in a public, accessible, and searchable format.
