With more than 45 years of her life devoted to studying chimpanzees and spreading her messages of conservation and hope to millions around the world, Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE has amassed an enormous amount of books and audio/visual materials from around the world. Here at the Jane Goodall Institute, we are in the process of cataloguing these resources for a potential future Jane Goodall Library and Museum. And we need your help!

Description of volunteer opportunity:
We are seeking a volunteer with experience in information management or library science to help us create and implement a private library for Dr. Goodall’s personal books and audio/visual materials. Our goal is to achieve seamless integration of our electronic and physical records of these resources, and to make them more accessible to the Jane Goodall Institute staff in a private library. The books are being catalogued using the Library of Congress system.

This is a very exciting opportunity for you to get involved and help us create a “physical history” of Dr. Goodall and her work, and the efforts of so many people around the world who share our mission.
