Volunteer Opportunities

The Cairo Museum is looking for volunteers to come to Cairo and help with an important and urgent project: to transcribe all of the museum's register books into a new database. This information will form the basis of a new collections management system, currently being researched and designed by a team sponsored by ARCE (the American Research Center in Egypt). All volunteers must have a basic knowledge of Egyptology and good computer skills (and must have their own laptop). Reading knowledge of French is a plus. Volunteers are expected to pay their own way to Cairo and cover their own living expenses. The project is estimated to continue through approximately the end of 2008.

Anyone interested should contact the project director, Dr. Janice Kamrin, at jkamrin@yahoo.com .
