I keep seeing these posts about "if you can read cursive, help the National Archives digitize old records!"

folks...that is the kind of work someone should get paid for

when you encourage people to give away their labor doing entry-level work in a professional discipline?

you are contributing to the erosion of both wages and respect for that discipline

the federal government ABSOLUTELY has the cash to pay for the work they want done

they're choosing not to and you're helping them 🙄
