The National Archives is looking for volunteers to describe a series of records [Series BT9501/1] created by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation [ABC]. The series contains records of ABC radio programs broadcast in Papua New Guinea in 1971. Volunteers will describe each item, entering data into a spreadsheet. The records will also be repackaged in acid free archival quality folders. The project consists of 10 boxes of material.
The project will start in February 2023 at the National Archives research centre at Cannon Hill, Brisbane. Volunteers will need to be available either on a Monday or Tuesday.
If you are interested in being part of this project please complete an expression of interest form.
