What is there for volunteers to do?
We will be happy to add volunteers to the archive team who will assist in the following activities:
- Registering books and documents in the KKL-JNF Archive
- Sorting books by subject, listing them in a dedicated software program, putting them in containers and passing on lists to an external warehouse. All this with the aim of making the books accessible for use at KKL-JNF; sorting documents according to key words, filing, scanning documents and classifying them.
- Taking care of and registering them in KKL-JNF files that are preserved in perpetuity in the Central Zionist Archives.
- Physically caring for the files, replacing old containers, taking notebooks and maps out of files and preserving them. All this with the aim of enabling the files' exposure to the wider public twenty years after they were first opened.

Basic computer orientation; advantage to those interested and/or knowledgeable in history and geography.
