'''[http://www.mnh.si.edu/rc/fieldbooks/ The Field Book Project]''', a joint effort of the [[National Museum of Natural History]] and the [[Smithsonian Institution Archives]], welcomes participants to an edit-a-thon on the scientific field diaries held at the Smithsonian. Activities include new editor orientation and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Smithsonian’s Russell E. Train Africana Collection. Participants will also be invited to preview and test transcribe field book materials using the Smithsonian’s new digital Transcription Center.

Due to space constraints, attendance is limited to 12 non-staff attendees and 12 staff attendees. ''Please also email kapsalise(@) si.edu with your full name and email address so we can prepare for badging ahead of time.'' RSVPs beyond the first 12 names in each category should consider themselves to be on the waitlist. Waitlisted individuals will be contacted in the event that a space opens up.
