Volunteering at Worcestershire Record Office

Do you want to develop new skills or further your interest in archives?
Have you thought about volunteering with Worcestershire Record Office?

Who can volunteer?
Anyone can volunteer and no previous experience is required as we will provide full training for the task that we want you to do. A team of young people aged 14-18 volunteered for us last summer at the Croome Summer School yet our oldest volunteer is well into retirement.

What would I be doing?
You could be indexing, transcribing, flattening documents or interviewing a variety of people for our Oral History projects.

There will be voluntary opportunities within the WASP and Film Projects.

Oral History Transcribing

Where can I work?
Depending on the project you could be at the History Centre in the city centre or at the County Hall Branch of the Record Office. You could also work at home if it is suitable.

When would you need me?
Times are arranged to suit you and us. Even if you are working, we can accommodate.

Indexing from Electoral Register Microfilms

How long would I be expected to volunteer for?
This depends on the project and how much time you can commit to us. We have some volunteers who have been with us for years.

If you are interested and want more information about what to do next please contact Robin Whittaker on rwhittaker@worcestershire.gov.uk or 01905 766353.
