Have Freedmen's Bureau local office records been transcribed and stored into any publicly accessible database?

I understand some records indexed so that people may search for particular names, but have records themselves been transcribed? If not, I am interested in transcribing the records for the Hillsboro (Hillsborough), NC local office so that they may become available for public research and interest.

Hi Richard,

There are volunteer opportunities available at the Smithsonian to help transcribe.

Outstanding. Thank you, Angela, for directing me to that opportunity at the Smithsonian. It appears that the current project focus is on Freedmen's Bureau offices in Mississippi. I see nothing for North Carolina. Perhaps I'll work on NC and store for when there's an opportunity to share with Smithsonian and others. Again, thank you for your guidance.

Correction. The available projects are for Georgia and Mississippi

I love that you shared this opportunity. Volunteers make things happen for all of us.
