Hi,

Today we launched Operation War
Diary<http://www.operationwardiary.org/?utm_source=NEWSLETTER&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_content=TEAM&utm_campaign=WAR%20DIARY%20LAUNCH>-
our new citizen history project where we need your help to transcribe
regimental diaries which describe events in the lives of British soldiers
during the First World War. To get involved visit
http://www.operationwardiary.org<http://www.operationwardiary.org/?utm_source=NEWSLETTER&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_content=TEAM&utm_campaign=WAR%20DIARY%20LAUNCH>and
follow the short tutorial.

These diaries contain the thoughts and observations of soldiers on the
Western Front They detail the location, movement and everyday activities of
hundreds of thousands of individuals whose stories are otherwise unknown to
us. With 15 million pages to go through, there are many amazing stories
lying in these documents, waiting to be read.

By tagging people, places, and more on
http://www.operationwardiary.org<http://www.operationwardiary.org/?utm_source=NEWSLETTER&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_content=TEAM&utm_campaign=WAR%20DIARY%20LAUNCH>you
can help our team of historians to begin to reconstruct the lives of
the First World War for future generations. This is an incredibly important
project and we’re very excited to be working with The National Archives and
the Imperial War Museum to make it happen

PS We haven’t forgotten the astronomers among you! Yesterday we launched a
project built by our friends at the Space Telescope Science Institute,
which uses Hubble Space Telescope data to classify star clusters in the
Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, M83. It’s called Project
Stardate<http://www.projectstardate.org/>and you can try it now at
