Volunteer: Digital Archivist

We're looking for a regular service volunteer to help establish a digital archive of park documents. We have a trove of files that don't meet the criteria for being placed in a physical archive, but still tell interesting stories about the park's activities over the years. We want to digitize and organize these documents to preserve this history while allowing us to make room for the future in our office. 

The right candidate needs to be patient, determined, and tech-savvy enough to operate a scanner and organize file systems. It's work that could potentially be done from home. 

For questions, please contact Park Manager Marcianne O'Day at Marcianne.ODay@tn.gov.
