The National Archives [USA] are asking for volunteers to transcribe thousands of pages of declassified CIA documents. To assist, you have to log in to the National Archives Catalog. The endeavour is part of Sunshine Week which is an open-government initiative, started by a group of newspaper editors, to educate people about the importance of government transparency and the dangers of excessive state secrecy.
You can browse some of the raw documents here.
