Judaica Sound Archives - Be a Volunteer

JSA Volunteer Program

Some of the ways that volunteers help the JSA are

unpacking new shipments of recordings as they arrive,
sorting incoming recordings by media type and genre,
translating record labels (from Hebrew and Yiddish into English),
checking incoming recordings against the list of recordings already in the collection,
providing help with fundraising events,
writing album notes and reviewing information found on album jackets.
