We are seeking experienced and enterprising volunteers to create a documented set of instructions to perform routine processes and procedures for a nonprofit historical society.
Volunteers will communicate through telephone and/or email with the project coordinator and department liaisons; gather information and cut it down to what our members need to best understand the individual task at hand; write actions out in the order in which they happen; create a template to enter the information.
Volunteers will write in a style that is easily understood using simple words to communicate as briefly as possible.
We will work with your schedule.
Interest in Civil War history is not required.
Skills needed: computer, writing, organization, communication, dependability.
Our goal is to have processes so thorough that anyone could take over the task and be able to complete it. The set of instructions will help us evaluate what we are doing now as well as how to operate moving forward. We look to improve consistency, error reduction, and communication.
Gain experience as you help us. Opportunity to place this position on your resume or recognition opportunities. After evaluation, you may receive a letter of recommendation.

Description
Founded in Philadelphia in 1977, the Old Baldy CWRT is named after General Meade's horse, whose head was on display at the museum where the group was started. The round table holds a monthly meeting on the second Thursday of each month at Camden County College in Blackwood. Since April 2020 the meeting have been conducted over Zoom. In addition to covering business, each month a speaker shares their knowledge in a presentation, a discussion is held on a Civil War topic or there is a member night. Member nights include "your favorite CW book,'" show and tell, "your family military heritage," or trip reports.
The round table electronically distributes an award winning newsletter each month to members and friends. Copies of the newsletter are available on our website. The round table has a Facebook page .

It awards a book award for a young persons book, sponsors trail marker signs on battlefields, provide judges for regional competitions for History Day and raises funds for historic preservation. It networks with history based groups like the League of Historical Societies of New Jersey.
