The archival processing volunteers will help make archival collections accessible by organizing the collection and occasionally describing the collection.
Volunteers will be working with collections from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries that contain letters, diaries, business records and family history materials. Work will help make collections and information more accessible to researchers and students.
