Volunteer at the Center
The center welcomes volunteers from the community to gather and index obituaries for our area. We also need people to visit our local cemeteries and upload pictures and information for the cemetery project. Volunteers can be used to work in the center to help patrons with their research needs. We could use those who can read and speak Spanish or have expertise in Native American research for our area.
