Volunteering
 I want first to
thank all of the volunteers that have taken time to participate in
our exploration of the Johnson's Island Prisoner of War Depot.
There are several ways to
volunteer your time furthering the exploration of Johnson's Island
Prisoner of War Depot:
Experiential
Learning Program
The Center for
Historic and Military Archaeology of Heidelberg College is looking
for interested adults to participate in the Experiential Learning
Program in Historic Archaeology. The program runs from the end of
March through Mid May (M-T), and we are looking for adults
willing to commit to at least a week, but hopefully much more time.
Archaeological experience is not necessary. You will be trained if
you commit to volunteer. The program brings the Civil War and
archaeology to students of 5th through 12th grades from all over
northwest Ohio and Michigan. (For more information, see
Experiential
Learning Program Page.)
Adult Learning
Experiences
Participate
hands on in discovering the Civil War
alongside professional archaeologists, offered through Heidelberg
College.
Archaeology
Laboratory
In addition to
volunteering at the site, we need volunteers to work in the
Archaeology
Laboratory at Heidelberg College. We typically work every day
during the fall months and one night per week. During the Spring
months, we just work one night per week. At the laboratory, we work
on preparing the cultural materials (artifacts) that were recovered
for analysis. This is an ongoing project that requires many
dedicated hands. You will have the opportunity to work directly
with materials that were last used by prisoners of war, or their
Union captors.
Document
Transcription
We can also use
volunteers to help with the transcription of the copies of the
historical documents that we have received. For further
information, check out the
Transcription section of this site. To volunteer for any of the
work associated with the exploration of Johnson’s Island, contact
David Bush as noted below. Our volunteers are so important to our
success. |
