Open Doors Import Assistant

Are you interested in the rescue and preservation of fanworks? Enjoy spreadsheets, self-paced projects, and helping protect fanworks from getting lost over time? Still guiltily--or not so guiltily--love the first fanwork that opened your eyes to fandom? Open Doors is a committee dedicated to preserving fanworks in their many formats, and we’re looking for volunteers to support this goal. The work we do preserves fan history, love, and dedication to fandom: we keep fanworks from offline and at-risk archives from being lost, divert fanzines from the trash, and more. Our import assistants contribute to our goal by:

• Manually importing works to AO3 from rescued digital archives and fanzines
• Searching AO3 for existing copies of works that creators have already uploaded themselves (to prevent us from importing duplicate versions when we import an archive)
• Compiling spreadsheets of works from an archive to be imported and/or tags to use on those works
• Copyediting/proofreading works from fanzines that have been scanned from PDFs (to ensure that the scanned works were translated properly by the software we used)

The training is self-directed, and so is the work for the most part, though we also have weekly working meetings/parties for people to all chip in and work on tasks together! Import assistants can generally alternate the types of tasks they work on -at any one time we usually have several tasks of different types available. If you're interested, click on through for a longer description of what we're looking for and the time commitment. For your application to be considered, you will be required to complete a short task and a questionnaire within 3 days of submitting your application.
