Rosedale Development Association is seeking a volunteer with an interest in archiving and exhibit creation to transform our collection of historic photographs, maps, and documents into a catalogued archive. Rosedale is a racially, economically, and geographically diverse neighborhood in Kansas City, KS, originally founded in the late nineteenth century by the budding the railroad industry and KU Hospital and Medical Center. (Turns out it’s more than just a great place to get barbeque, barbeque, barbeque,and check out the beautiful memorial arch!)  One-semester or two-semester positions are available, with a inventory creation focus in the fall, leading into a community historical exhibit in the spring. The volunteer archivist will be teamed with a recent graduate from the KU Museum Studies masters program who oversees the project. Archivist may create their own schedule during business hours. Project will take approximately 60 hours total each semester.

To apply for this volunteer opportunity, please email your resume and one paragraph explanation of your interest in the project to Adrianne Showalter Matlock at adrianne@rosedale.org by September 2, 2015.
