The Lab has two types of volunteers, clerical and technical.
Clerical volunteers create and maintain data support for the scientists at the Lab.
They type lists of species, create data bases and organize and maintain freezer data bases of all the standards in the Lab collection. Technical volunteers assist in developing techniques to identify species and to determine the genetic variability of a particular taxa. They also prepare specimens for the Morphology standards collection. To be a clerical volunteer you need to have data entry background and be familiar with PCs. This need at the Lab is infrequent and sporadic.
