Call for volunteers--University College London

UCL Special Collections seeks volunteers to help prepare its
manuscripts, archives and rare printed collections for a temporary
move to The National Archives, Kew, in July 2011.  The collections
date back over one thousand years, and cover a vast range of subject
areas, including early printed books--Latin American business
archives--the world-renowned George Orwell Archive and the Bentham
manuscripts, in addition to a large and historic Judaica collection.

No previous experience is needed and our staff will be on hand to
provide training. Part of the work will involve cleaning and careful
wrapping of the books and archives in special acid free paper. If
you have a spare morning, an afternoon, or even a whole day during
Monday - Friday and would like to help please contact:
