As in many non-profit organizations, the Telecommunications History Group’s volunteers are its life’s blood, keeping the group functioning and the archives in good order. Volunteers are essential to the building and maintenance of our archives, performing a variety of jobs, including archival and curator functions.

Duties include research, preservation, inventory, database entry and management, repair of antique equipment, tour conducting, educational speaking and oral history collection. The work is performed at our Denver and Seattle locations.
