The National Archives are asking for volunteers to transcribe thousands of pages of declassified CIA documents. The endeavour is part of Sunshine Week, which is an open-government initiative started by a group of newspaper editors to educate people about the importance of government transparency and the dangers of excessive state secrecy.

You can browse some of the raw documents here.

[Editor's Note: The dates on most of the CIA documents are 25 years old or older, so perhaps are of more interest to amateur historians than government transparency watchdogs.]
