Appendix B
Volunteers and the Work for the Dole Scheme
Volunteers
The National Archives receives community support in a variety of ways. This support is valuable because it not only increases the capacity of the organisation, but also fosters strong relations with the community. The Archives is indebted to members of the community who have volunteered their services to make its collection a more accessible public resource.
During 2004–05 members of the Heraldry and Genealogical Society of Canberra assisted the Archives by repackaging court martial records in archival folders and annotating the folders with identifying information. Information about each item was listed on RecordSearch by Archives’ staff. The following volunteers contributed to the project:
