Call for volunteers--Baltimore Museum of Industry

Volunteers needed in the Baltimore area.

The BMI Archives has over 10,000 ship plans from Bethlehem Steel
Corporation and various other 20th century shipbuilding companies.
Volunteers are needed to help process ship plans and related
material in hopes of making the collection accessible to research
and other interests.  Project scope includes unpacking, flattening,
arranging, sorting, inserting in new folders, labeling, and shelving
or placing in flat files the material.  The plans will be arranged
both by ship and chronologically, so opportunities exist for
inventorying, data entry, research, and writing a formal finding
aid.  Volunteers will work primarily at the BMI's off-site
warehouse.

Here are the instructions for completing a volunteer application.

Go to
    <URL:http://www.thebmi.org/>

    Hover mouse over the "Exhibitions in Collections" menu along the
    top of the webpage

    When the drop down menu appears, click "Internships and
    Volunteering"

    Click on "Learn more about volunteer positions"

    This will take you to a PDF explaining the volunteer positions
    (generic descriptions); the application is at the bottom of the
    PDF.

    Once you've filled in and completed the PDF, email it to
    Jane <jwoltereck<-at->thebmi<.>org>
