Volunteer: Archiving HelpMeher Archive Collective is dedicated to establishing and maintaining an archive to preserve knowledge and materials associated with Meher Baba’s life and work, and to providing a location for service opportunities for the local community. We are renovating the historic Red Oak School building in Weaverville and are close to having our archive move into a section of that building. With one of our main priorities being archiving, our archiving team is searching for volunteers to aid in our efforts. Archiving involves accessing received items and collections, taking inventory of the items, and caring for the items in a way that aims to preserve and protect them. This is tedious but fulfilling and honorable work, getting to come in contact with Baba-related artifacts and caring for them in a way that allows for them to be shared with the world for generations. This work is flexible, allowing for varying hours throughout the week depending on your schedule.

Volunteer: Archiving Audio Transcription Team HelpMeher Archive Collective is seeking volunteers to join our Transcription Team! Audio transcription involves two roles: Transcriber and Proofreader. Transcribing involves typing out what is being said, as accurately as possible, in the 5-10 minute long MP3 files made from tapes in our collection. Proofreading involves listening to the MP3 files and reviewing the typed transcriptions, identifying and correcting any errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, formatting, and content. These are detail-oriented positions involving tedious work that requires focus, patience, and a commitment to producing high-quality, error-free transcripts. Volunteers may need to listen to audio several times over to ensure they are getting all the details as accurately as possible. Some tapes have damage or poor audio quality, and thus it's more difficult to get a full transcription. Volunteers are asked to make their best guess, but to mark anywhere they cannot understand what's been said so that others may try to fill in. Our audio files can be talks, singing, prayer, poetry and more.
