The BitCurator Consortium is seeking volunteers to join us in our development efforts! Anyone, regardless of membership status in the BCC, can contribute to the critical software sustainability needs of the digital archives community.

We are looking for developers at all levels of experience who can help us:

For all volunteers, we will provide:

• Web-based orientation and training sessions to familiarize you with the environment
• Mentorship and expertise from leading practitioners and developers

You will gain:

• Experience with the BitCurator environment, BitCurator Access, and other digital forensics software programs
• The benefit of contributing code to a growing open-source software community
• Credit and recognition for your contributions
