CytatHi,

Today we launched Operation War Diary - 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 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 1.5 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 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.

Keep up-to-date with all news from this project and more by following it on Facebook and Twitter

Thanks,

Rob and the Zooniverse Team

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 and you can try it now at http://www.projectstardate.org
