Summary
We are looking for a weekly volunteer to help scan historic newspapers in our library store.Detailed description
We are looking for a volunteer to help scan newscuttings collected by the museum's founders over 100 years ago. This will allow the museum to easily refer to these when researching exhibitions and events.
The role will take place in our collections store, just over the road from the museum, on Thursdays 10am-12pm.
This would suit someone interested in history, who is relatively confident using a scanner and computer.
