Opportunity Details

Newspaper Special Project

Do you love history? We are looking for volunteers to help with a special local history project.

Volunteers are needed to go to the Johnson County Archives facility (19310 159th St, Olathe, KS 66062) to help us assess a digitalization project on two local newspapers which are no longer in print. Volunteers will be keeping track on a paper spreadsheet of which volumes we have, how many pages are in each issue, the size of the paper, and whether the newspaper is color or black & white. This is a lengthy project based on the number of decades each publication was in print.

Volunteers are needed for special 2 1/2 hours shifts May 5th and 6th. Attention to detail is important. Volunteers will also need to undergo a short training to work on this project.
