General Resource File Digitization Project

The General Resource File is a collection of research materials of all Framingham topics A-Z. The goal of this project is to make this wealth of information accessible to all researchers through digitization. Under the direction of the FHC Curator, the volunteer will scan topical folders, read materials and build a searchable index. This is the perfect project for the budding researcher and/or a passionate Framingham resident. The ideal volunteer hours are Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00am – 3:00pm.
