Office Volunteer Opportunities
Our current focus is on processing field drawings from recent projects into their final archival digital format by transferring drawings made in the field in to an inked format. This is an extremely important and time-consuming part of the documentation process and is a great way to learn more about Nevada rock art, as well as honing your field drawing skills.
Training is available at these regular inking sessions for those new to the process or who would like a refresher.

Volunteer Training in Documentation Techniques
If
you've ever wanted to help archaeologists to document rock art sites,
now is your chance to learn how at a two-day workshop! NRAF Members
learn the fundamentals of rock art research around the world and are
introduced to the rock art here in Nevada. Also discussed are
requirements to volunteer for a Federal Land Management agency and how
to become involved in Site Stewardship. Then, the basics of site
documentation, which meets or exceeds standards set by the
International Federation of Rock Art Organizations, are discussed. By
the end of the day, participants have a basic understanding of the
potential and the process of rock art documentation. On the second day,
participants go into the field to use what they've learned.
The next Documentation Training Workshop has not yet been scheduled. To be notified of the next Training date,
please contact info@nvrockart.org or call 775.323.6723 or 702.804.6723.
