Canton Historical Society Volunteer Opportunity

The Canton Historical Society is a local organization dedicated to preserving the history of the city of Canton, Michigan. The society has an archive with a plethora of information. This includes paper records, photographs, audio/video oral histories, an interesting collection of historical books, maps, and many other objects dating back from the 1700's. Students will start by arranging and describing the collections at CHS, with some digitization and preservation work possible. Please contact David Zande (dmzande@umich.edu) for more information.

An inventory of the Canton Historical Society's collections along with a statement of goals, resources, and initiatives is in the attached document.
