| Since September 2009, our volunteers have become a valuable asset to our department. Not only have they accomplished projects that benefit genealogists and other researchers, they remind us about the importance of Licking County history to residents. |

| Volunteering provides opportunities to: |
- Work on projects which will shape your knowledge of local history and genealogy
- Complete projects which reflect your interests and skills
- Learn how records centers and archives operate
- Learn about the preservation of records
- Gain fulfilling experiences with staff and other volunteers
|

| Internships |
The department also accepts unpaid college interns to perform archival/records management work in conjunction with their course of study. Interns may shape their work experience with the department by performing projects/duties related to their specific research interest(s) if the prospect is present in our program. Interns will also receive one-on-one time with the department head and staff members and gain an understanding of daily department operations.
Please contact Records/Archives Coordinator, Katy Klettlinger, to schedule an appointment to discuss intern opportunities at 670-5122 or kklettlinger@lcounty.com. Providing an updated resume is suggested.
