The Research Center is staffed by a wonderful group volunteers supervised by the Research Center’s dedicated staff. The volunteers specialize in different areas of expertise. That expertise is what makes our library user friendly and easily searchable. They are an integral part of daily operations and allow the staff to complete their jobs. Thank you for your time. We value it as much as you do!

When Are Volunteers Needed?

Volunteer hours normally coincide with business hours (Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm). Volunteers need not set a rigid schedule for their work time. They may come in when they have the time and ambition, but we do encourage a regular schedule each week in the interest of keeping projects moving.
