Are you tech savvy? Are you patient and able to teach others? If so, you might be the perfect volunteer to help with the Johnson County Genealogical Society's Memory Lab.

Then, they will sign-up for a weekly volunteer shift to help scheduled individual users transform their media to a digital format. Due to the training involved, volunteers must be willing to commit to a regular shift for a minimum of six months. Basic computer skills are required. Prior experience using a scanner is helpful. Volunteers must enjoy working with technology and helping people of all ages learn to use the equipment. Patience with people and equipment is critical.

Newspaper Special Project

Oct 17 - Dec 31 | Olathe, KS 66062

Do you love history? We are looking for volunteers to help with a special local history project. Volunteers are needed to go to the Johnson County Archives facility (19310 159th St, Olathe, KS 66062) to help us assess a digitalization project on two local newspapers which are no longer in print. Volunteers will be keeping track on a paper spreadsheet of which volumes we have, how many pages are in each issue, the size of the paper, and whether the newspaper is color or black & white. This could be a lengthy project based on the number of decades each publication was in print. Volunteers would need to commit to a regular three hour weekly shift (Tuesday or Thursday 9AM-Noon or 1-4PM), do a volunteer interview, and undergo a short training.
