Opportunity Description: 

Duties: The Cultural Resource program at Mount Rainier National Park is looking for detail-oriented individuals who are interested in the photographic history of the park, to assist the Park Curator with the processing of the park's historic photograph collection. This involves organizing the photographs into subjects for easy retrieval, rehousing the images into acid-free containers, completing item-level cataloging into the National Park Service's National Catalog, and, if there is time, digitizing the images for public use.

Time Commitment Required: Up to three volunteers are needed who can commit at least one day per week.

Skills required: Ability to hand-print legibly; some computer skills. National Catalog Program will be taught to the volunteers, as well as digitizing.
