“Harvard University has launched a project to digitize almost half a million items from its 17th and 18th century archives – the largest digitizing effort the university has ever undertaken. The letters, journals, documents and drawings tell the story not only of the nation’s oldest institution of higher learning, but also the history of our nation.”

Ok. This is very specific but this is exactly one of my extracurricular activities and as a Regular Decision applicant, I hope it could be a benefit that Harvard is pursuing digitization of similar colonial records as I do with the MarineLives History Project. Fingers crossed!
