Archives and Collections-
One of our biggest programs with multiple needs. Let us know how you’d like to help and we have a job for you! Training will be provided for all tasks involved.

  1. Digitization- There are multiple books in various collections that need to be scanned and digitized for sharing. We can teach you how to do this! It’s tedious, but easy to do and goes quickly.
     
  2. CatalogIt – Our software makes the collections shareable for anyone to research and see what we have available. But, we need lots of help to get it all online. Items need to be catalogued on the computer. Again, it’s simple, but time consuming and lots to catalog.

  3. Photo scanning and collections-
    There are thousands of photos to be processed, the bulk being from the La Kermesse donations. Help is needed with scanning and identification of photos.
     
  4. Collection and Archive Processing-
    Interns and dedicated scheduled volunteers are always welcome to help with processing of collections for sharing with the public.

  5. Research assistance-
    To help with our Hall of Fame Inductees, archival research,  and other special projects as needed

 

Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization and without them, we would not exist.
