Holt-Atherton Special Collections is the home to the largest collection of John Muir material in the world and includes 78 of Muir's personal journals. Though the journals have been digitized, only a few have been transcribed — they can be viewed online, but are not keyword searchable. Word-for-word transcriptions open up many more possibilities for researchers and the general public to find, read, and understand ;Muir's thoughts as he experienced them. It also facilitates online searching to locate information by specific topics. Volunteers can transcribe an entire journal or even just a single page. Even transcribing one or two pages increases the discoverability for historians, Muir enthusiasts, students, or anyone searching the internet.
