Getting to know our volunteers
Description
This is the audio version of the blog post 'Getting to know our volunteers'. It was written by Sarah Way, who was the Volunteer Coordinator with the Courtauld Connects Conway Library digitisation project from 2017-2019. It was first published on 22 March 2017. This audio version is read by Celia Cockburn, who is a digitisation volunteer.
In this post, Sarah reflects on six weeks of recruiting new volunteers for the project. It turns out, it's almost impossible to describe a 'typical' volunteer for the project, as people come from all walks of life to generously bring their skills and share their knowledge with this ambitious project.
