You can take an active role in the WSJHS by becoming a member of one of these working committees:

The Jewish Archives Committee collects archival materials, including oral histories and photographs, written records, letters, and ephemera, under the guidance of the University of Washington Libraries. Periodically, this committee offers training in oral history.
