==== Family History Center Staff ==== | |||
Staff is needed for customer service during the hours the Center is open. Volunteers should be comfortable with computer use and enjoy working with people. A knowledge of basic family history research principles is helpful, but training will be provided. A minimum of 2 shifts per month in the Center is required and more is cheerfully allowed. | |||
==== Indexing ==== | |||
Family Search is making records available on-line as quickly as possible. One of the keys to making these records useful is the Indexing program. Without an index, researchers have to browse through the images, sometimes one at a time, to find a specific record. Indexing can be done at home and is an excellent activity for Family History Center Staff when the Center is not busy. To find out more about indexing and take a test drive go to http://www.familysearch.org/volunteer/indexing | |||
==== Basic Computer Literacy Tutor ==== | |||
With the rapid increase in research data becoming available on-line, long-time family history researchers are facing the need to learn new skills. A patient and understanding tutor is needed to help small groups or individuals learn basic computer skills. Contact the Director by telephone or email if you are interested in teaching or helping to develop training in this topic. | |||
