Volunteers -the lifeline to our future...
  • What aspect of Chesterfield history interests you? (example: oral histories, map projects, research)  
  • Do you have a project in mind? (example: African-American Chesterfield history or Civil War history)
  • Do you know what form that project will take, or do you need to brainstorm it with someone?\
  • What spare time do you have?  A few hours?  A full day?  
  • Special events only?
  • Are you ready to make a commitment, or do you prefer a more informal arrangement?
  • Do you enjoy working with the public?

Some computer skills are necessary but not for every committee.  At the CHSV Library, the following projects need volunteers: scanning the Library Photo collection and transcribing "hand   written documents".  Does working in the CHSV library at the Old Trinity Church appeal to you?
