In 1879, Williamina “Mina” Fleming was hired as household help for the couple that ran the Harvard College Observatory. An immigrant from Scotland, she had been a teacher before coming to America. But after her husband disappeared, leaving her alone and pregnant, she had no choice but to take any position she could.

"Executives at the National World War II Museum say creating a vast
online collection of 9,000 existing oral and written histories will take
longer than the war was fought: 10 years and $11 million dollars.
There's more than 22,000 hours of audio and video to be handled,
thousands of documents to be digitized and millions of words
transcribed.
Ultimately, all these firsthand accounts of Pearl Harbor, the D-Day invasion, Germany's surrender, Hiroshima, the homefront and more will be online."
