Just checked and the group doing the transcription of historical weather data mentioned in the article is asking citizens to help do the transcription. Apparently machines can’t do it and it will take forever so they need legions of volunteers. Here’s the website: https://draw.geog.mcgill.ca/en
If citizen science is your thing, you can create an account and contribute an hour or more to make vast archive accessible to meteorological scientists. An interesting project in the service of climate crisis knowledge!
