Volunteering with SAM
You are invited to help preserve the rich history of Rocky Mountain Public Media.
Volunteer schedules are flexible depending on individual availability. SAM volunteers give their time from home or in the SAM Office at Rocky Mountain Public Media. Training and supplies are provided. The fun of volunteering for SAM includes the opportunity to make new friends, the joy of working with fellow volunteers who love Rocky Mountain Public Media, the thrill of making new discoveries, the satisfaction of learning new archive and computer skills, and the pride of knowing that you are playing a part in preserving the history of our beloved community treasure: Rocky Mountain Public Media.
What do SAM volunteers do? Volunteer opportunities abound for SAM volunteers: take photographs at special events, identify and scan current and historic photographs and memorabilia, conduct and transcribe oral history interviews of past and current Rocky Mountain Public Media staff and volunteers, research historic documents, insert data into the SAM databases, set up archive displays for special in-house or community events, historical programs produced by Rocky Mountain Public Media and much more. Since history is being created every day at Rocky Mountain Public Media, the volunteers delight in documenting both "fresh" and "historic" events.
Along with needing more volunteers, SAM is searching for original copies of KRMA PROMOS from the 1970s. If you have PROMOS or other station-related materials to contribute to the archives (photos, documents or memorabilia), please contact SAM.
