Volunteers Always Welcome
There are always tasks available for new volunteers to work with the projects described on this page. Most volunteers only spend a couple of hours a week on a project. If you have an interest in any of these projects, please contact the LGS Vice-President. You do not need to be a member of the Linn Genealogical Society to volunteer.
The LGS obtains grants and donations to digitize past newspapers from Linn County. The images are available on computers in the Linn Research Room. Volunteers are busy indexing and dating the images.
Society volunteers survey, preserve and index Linn County cemeteries.
Volunteers have assembled and printed into book form over 35 volumes of Linn County obituaries. This project is on-going and is a wonderful research tool that will be enjoy by researchers for many years.
Society members have contributed and aided in the compiling Oregon Trail families who reached the Oregon Territory and settled on donation land claims in Linn County. The series consists of 40 volumes and includes approximately 45,000 names.
