The Louisa County Historical Society has a need for volunteers who would like to be trained and gain experience in helping people research local and family history in Louisa County. Volunteers can help us answer the many remote research requests we receive on an ongoing basis each month from people who cannot visit us in person. Remote research assistance can be completed any time Monday - Friday 10 am-4 pm at the Museum or sometimes remotely from home. If you would like to become a research volunteer or learn more, please contact Lenee Gordon at louisaheritageprograms@gmail.com.
