Volunteer Information Specialists
Linda D. Van Niewaal,
Co-Chairman
Amy Sunleaf, Co-Chairman
If you are assisting your chapter or
your state or national societies with
processing or communicating information to
other members, then you are a Volunteer
Information Specialist. Use of computer
technology is the necessary skill for this
committee. You may share your talents through
a newsletter, through email updates to chapter
members, or by volunteering for the national
society working on Genealogy Preservation or
the Genealogical Records Committee.
As you consider your volunteer efforts,
consider volunteering for DAR special
projects. Some of you have worked on the
Descendants Project and some of you have
worked on identifying Supporting
Documentation, in addition, you might consider
the Patriot Records Project. As many of you
know, the Genealogical Records Committee loves
to have volunteers indexing records.
These are projects you can assist with from
the comfort of your home at any hour of the
day.

them in one email, please. If multiple emails
are sent, some of the requests may be missed.
Substantive changes must be approved by the
