Volunteer
We work to document, record and preserve diverse life stories in our borough. There are many ways you can help: assist with a public program, photograph spots around your neighborhood, process oral history transcripts, or record an interview of your own with someone in Queens. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us or attend an upcoming training event to learn more. |

Bring Queens Memory to Your Classroom
We love to work with educators and students of all ages. If you would like to teach Queens Memory in your classroom, we have resources to share, like our oral history interviews and our digital collections. We are also available to help plan single assignments, semester-long courses, or extracurricular projects. For examples of our academic collaborations, visit our Projects page. |
