Museum Archival Project

Diana Mancel has been volunteering at the San Juan Historical Museum for a few years now and she is asking if you would like to join her in an archival project beginning in January 2017, with a completion date of May 1, 2017. Here she is with more…

The project involves organizing, examining, recording and photographing the hundreds of items in the Etta Egeland Resource Center area. This will allow the Museum to be well positioned to respond to the needs of the community for the history of this Island and its past, current and future inhabitants.

I know how valuable time is to us – we can always make more money, but we can’t make more time. When volunteering, I look at projects that:

1. Have a definite goal
2. Have a begin date and realistic end date
3. Accommodates and appreciates the volunteer effort and time
4. Offers challenge and an opportunity to learn
5. Is organized and professionally run

As Project Coordinator, I am committed to following these guidelines.

If you are interested, send an email to dianamancel [@] gmail.com. I will contact you again in late December with project details so you can let me know what interests you the most, and to schedule volunteer orientation the first week of January 2017. You can volunteer for one day, one week, one day a week – we will work with you on whatever time you can and want to give.

Thanks so much!
Diana
