Volunteer Support Table of Contents

We can never have too many volunteers! You are welcome and very much appreciated! Here are a few ways to help The USGenWeb Project:

Interested in coordinating a county or special project website? Select the State of interest from the drop-down menu at the top of the page, check to see what is "Up for Adoption" on their county list, then contact the State Coordinator to express your interest.
Visit the Special Projects page where you can find descriptions of projects, as well as links to them where you will find information on how to help or submit data.
Have a digital camera? Consider taking photos of historic locations, gravestones or monuments where you live. Contact a County or Special Project Coordinator for more information.
Consider surveying a cemetery in your community. Check with the appropriate County Coordinator for more information.
Be a Look-Up volunteer. If you have research material or books relating to a location, surname, or event, consider helping other researchers by offering to see if there is information about their ancestors.
At times a Coordinator may need help to transcribe (type verbatim) materials, in order to put the information online.
Contribute photos, documents and family history about your ancestors.

All volunteers are encouraged to read through The USGenWeb^® Project's Bylaws, Standard Rules, and Copyright Guidelines. Many of the state projects have additional expectations related to their county sites. Please check the state(s) where you are volunteering.
