Hello, I'm an M.L.S. student at Queens College (CUNY) and also the person responsible for tech at The Lesbian Herstory Archives<http://www.lesbianherstoryarchives.org/>. I have a very basic knowledge of html and I'm training myself to do more and always looking for opportunities to collaborate with those who are more knowledgeable. We are an all-volunteer run archives and library in Park Slope, Brooklyn about to celebrate our 39th year. We have no paid staff and run on a very small budget but manage the oldest and largest collection of materials about lesbians in the world. Suffice it to say, we are always looking for and in need of amazing volunteers. We are looking for local volunteer web developers to form a small group to help us transfer our website to a content management system (we're considering Wordpress [heavily] but possibly also Omeka or Drupal). Right now we're not looking to do anything super fancy, we'd just like to make the site more modern and make it easier to manage and update and give it a more streamlined appearance that is less text heavy and interoperable our cataloging database application. If there are any librarian/archivist/developers in the area looking for a volunteer project, we'd love to speak with you. You can contact me via email off list if you have time or interest or suggestions. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all. Peace, Desiree Yael Vester Caretaker & OPAC Coordinator Lesbian Herstory Archives (LHEF, Inc) 484 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
