THE PRESERVATIONIST’S ROLE

Communication, Interpretation & Photography

There are many volunteer opportunities that exist. If you enjoy photography, you might photograph the railroad, work sessions and volunteers. If you have writing talents, there is always a need for articles that appear in the quarterly C&TS DISPATCH. We also have opportunities in the area of social media, brochures and signage.

Historic Photo Collections

One of the treasures and greatest resources we have is our historic photo collection with over 30,000 images. Opportunities to organize, label and expand this photo database continue. We will always welcome detail-oriented volunteers who enjoy this type of work and who can work from our Albuquerque library.

FRIENDS OF C&TSRR Library

Our non-circulating library is located at the FRIENDS office in Albuquerque. We have a wealth of information covering the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad and the Denver & Rio Grande Western. We receive frequent donations of books, maps, photos and paper documents. We are always looking for more volunteers who have an interest in organizing and cataloging and can work from our Albuquerque library. To make arrangements to access the library or request documents please email Library@cumbrestoltec.org.
