More Information
DRAW, which stands for ‘Data Rescue: Archival and Weather’, allows volunteers to participate in the transcription of historical weather logs captured at the McGill weather observatory since 1863. The weather information contained in these logs needs to be transcribed in a digital format in order to be used for scientific research. Your contribution will help atmospheric scientists develop a better understanding of how climate has been changing over the last hundred and fifty years of record-keeping.
