Volunteer with WCGS - Be Our New Webmaster

Members and researchers who have visited the Wake County Genealogical Society website will have noticed its many features.

· Our easy sidebar system for finding and registering for upcoming events.

· The topical front and center features from our blog, newsletters, and journal on regular rotation on the Wakecogen  home page.

· Quick access to free 24/7 content offered in The Wake Cemetery Survey Images, the thirty plus years of Wake Treasures Journal content, and seven years of content in the Wake Genealogy Watch newsletter.

· The several Resource pages including Wake research, Wake history, NC resources, Society Surnames, and Articles and Guides - all curated content by our webmaster.


You have our current webmaster Cynthia Gage to thank for all of that. She has built our website from a simple information page to the useful community hub and education center it is today. Cynthia assumed the role in 2015 and after nine years, she has decided to step down from this role to pursue her other genealogical interests.

Wake County Genealogical Society is seeking a new Webmaster

If you have web skills (or are interested in learning as you go), want to collaborate with fellow genealogists (always a fun time) and want to work with a great bunch of volunteers, we would love to have you.

WebMaster Position Description

 Our new webmaster will:

· Maintain the content and appearance of the website for the Wake County Genealogical Society at www.wakecogen.org.

· Maintain the various email boxes for Society communication.

· Communicate with BlueCrab Software (via EasyNet Sites) on technical details and website structure options as needed to maintain the website.

· Monitor for proper function and ensure the site is available to users.

· Receive new and updated information from members of the board, committees, and projects, and posts it in a timely manner on the website.

· Provide a quarterly report to the board about any website changes and recommendations.

· Will eventually facilitate the conversion of our website to the new ENS Responsive mode (no time frame yet).

This unpaid position is completely remote.
