Missing Maps Mapathon
Natural Disasters kill nearly 100,000 and affect or displace 200 million people annually around the world. Many of the places where these disasters occur are literally ‘missing’ from any map and first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief effort. Missing Maps is an open and collaborative project in which volunteers can help to map areas where humanitarian organizations are trying to meet the needs of vulnerable people.
Smithsonian Digital Volunteers
The most well-known museum organization in the country offers volunteers the chance to work from home at their own pace. Volunteers provide “digital assistance” transcribing documents to online archives, editing articles, or providing online descriptions of museum artifacts and the organization’s many research projects.
