Volunteer Opportunities
Most of our volunteer projects require a regular commitment, at a minimum two shifts a month. There are three main volunteer opportunities at the GLBT Historical Society; Archives, Castro Exhibit, and the Main Office.
Volunteering Archive

Archives (657 Mission St. #300)
Most archival Projects require a regular commitment from volunteers and are usually available during the week. These projects may include organizing materials, data entry, research assistance, transcribing oral histories and cataloging.
