  • Uploading content, video/still image or audio files, for new acquisitions and existing items.
  • Run transcode software to convert video formats
  • Web development

About the organization:

The Legacy Winchester Project seeks to both preserve and make readily available the electronically/digitally recorded history of Winchester Massachusetts-Winchester's Legacy. The recordings include video, still images and audio recordings. We are a project of the Winchester Historical Society.

Cummings Foundation

Opportunities:

Volunteers are an integral part of Cummings Foundation's grant program.

About the organization:

Now one of the largest foundations in New England, Woburn-based Cummings Foundation has awarded more than $260 million in grants to Greater Boston nonprofits alone. Its giving is concentrated in Middlesex, Essex, and Suffolk counties and benefits a broad range of causes, including human services, education, healthcare, and social justice.
