City Archives Volunteer Program

The Proud, the Few, the … City Archives Volunteer Crew !!!

Do you have some free time and are you interested in history or archaeology?  Look no further, become part of the City Archives volunteer crew.  The City Archives is looking for motivated individuals who could share their time and expertise processing archival and archaeological collections at the Deadwood City Hall, 102-108 Sherman Street.

According to the Society of American Archivists (SAA), 65 million people volunteer each year in the United States.  Though volunteers are not paid for service, their charitable assistance help further an organization’s mission and ensure the survival of and access to our nation’s heritage.
