We have the documents, but now we need the digital access! Do you have experience with computers; data entry, scanning, Excel? Can you help us enter our archives into our simple, easy to use, museum software? We also need volunteers to scan photos, organize files, enter data in Excel, label photos and put them in sleeves, transcribe letters written in cursive, and so much more.
This project might be a simple one, but it is vital to our community. By having our archives organized and on a digital platform, our Society will be able to assist more guests with research requests, photo orders, and genealogical mapping.
