The opportunity to help allows for plenty of flexibility. There are no set deadlines, but of course we hope to make steady progress toward the goal of publishing the entire archive of the 1931-1977 Quarterly . 2.2 Useful skills For editing, proofreading skills are needed. Some typing ability is required to correct errors. For converting the electronic material into a format which can be viewed on the Internet, knowledge of HTML is necessary and experience in website development and design is highly desirable.
Volunteers can also send the scanned and edited output via U.S. mail on a floppy disk if preferred.
Contact Tod Roberts by email for details on how to package and address the disk. In addition to performing scanning, editing, and HTML composition chores himself, he is coordinating the efforts of other KHQ volunteers. How volunteers obtain material to be scanned Volunteers may have access through a public library or private collection to original issues of Kansas Historical Quarterly published between 1931 and 1977. If such access is not available, the volunteer can obtain a photocopy by contacting Tod Roberts . He will arrange for a copy of all or a portion of an issue to be sent via U.S. mail to the volunteer.
