Archival/History Research Project
♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
The Day Worker Center is currently looking for volunteers to support starting an archival/history project about the Center. The project entails volunteers that can look through and inventory a few boxes of DVDS and other analog media. We also have binders full of news clippings and other pieces of the Day Worker Center's history (1997-2017). Another part of the project would be to work on new compilations for the missing period of 2018-present, to fill in that gap.The inventorying part would have to be in person at the Center but for the research aspect, it can be done remotely. We can work with your schedule for either parts of the project.
