The Westchester County Archives boasts an exciting volunteer program:
Volunteers in Archives (VIA). Those
accepted into the program are carefully trained and then assigned various
projects.
|
| Volunteer assignments are
tailored to individual interests and skills and can include
assisting patrons in the Archives' Reading Room, preparing
original documentary and photographic collections for use by
researchers, assisting in the creation of collection
indexes, and document transcription. |

|
Research
assignments, assistance planning exhibits, and other special tasks are assigned to volunteers when
needed. VIA members also have
many opportunities to socialize and make friends while they help the Archives fulfill its
mission to identify, preserve and make available the historical records of the Westchester
County Government.

 |
|
Volunteers come from all walks of life and age groups, from high
school students to retirees. Internships for undergraduate and
graduate students can also be arranged.
If you would like an application to join
VIA, or more information about the program, please contact
the Director of Volunteers by
e-mail
