Thanks Dawn! We now have a link to the spreadsheet for Orange County added to the table above. The first tab in the spreadsheet has more detailed directions - we're basically just creating profiles for people who lived there in 1880, but we have some stickers and categories we'd like you to add to them. There's also an FAQ section on the main project page that may have helpful information if you run into any problems or questions.
