Historic records are priceless information in genealogy. From something that has been passed down through the generations or what you may find online or any other place. Some records online have been transcribed. Which means someone read and then typed out what the document or record contained. There are several places like Family Search, Ancestry and Billion Graves where you can help out with transcribing. It's great to always play it forward and give back what in turn someone may have given you.
The National Archives has press releases and we came across one that announced Operation War Diary. Upon further reading we found they had records you could go over and select certain keywords for these diaries of military personnel from WWI. If you have the time sign up to volunteer. The above link has more on what to do ( they have an easy tutorial ) and there is nothing to download from what I see. This is just helping to preserve a little history.
