Ruth,
Best thing to do is click on the URL in the message and that will take you
to the project page which has descriptions in 3 languages and a search
engine for what they have posted. A quick read tells me that what they are
looking for is volunteers to transcribe data from photo copies of Spain
emigration records, such as passport applications, etc. They provide the
software to enter the data. I didn't find out how much they have
transcribed already, but when I used the search engine I didn't find
anything on any of my surnames.
