Hosting a Province
and Other Ways to Contribute
PolandGenWeb is looking for volunteers to host province pages. Hosts, or province coordinators, are responsible for creating and maintaining the province pages. Your job as province host would be to provide information on your pages to help others researching in that province. You may host the province alone, or you may have one or more individuals assisting you. A knowledge of HTML or a web design program is recommended, since you will be responsible for creating, editing, and uploading your pages. Assistance is available to get you started. You do not need to provide web space of your own. Space will be provided for your province site for free if you do not wish to provide your own.
Provinces Available for Adoption:
If you would like to become part of the PolandGenWeb team by hosting a province, or if you would like more information about hosting a province, please contact

If you don't have the time or experience to host a province, these are always other ways to help your fellow researchers:
- Donate your knowledge of a specific topic of Polish research, of a particular geographical area, or of researching in a local, state, or diocesan archive. Presently, PolandGenWeb has information on its site about using LDS microfilm, but there are lots of other topics that can benefit others!
- Volunteer assistance to the host of the province in which you are researching or in which you live. Province hosts are always looking for more information or resources to add to their sites!
- Transcribe Polish records. PolandGenWeb is currently looking for volunteers to transcribe records pertaining to Poles all over the world. Visit the Polish Records Transcription Project for more information.
- Join or make a contribution to your nearest Polish Genealogical Society. The resources they make available to their members are invaluable.
- If you can read and write Polish, volunteer to translate for those who do not. At present, volunteers to translate from English to Polish (and the reverse) are very few. You can contact one of the Polish Genealogical Societies or offer to translate via one of the many mailing lists or message boards available.
- Transcribe tombstone readings at a Polish cemetery in your area. The USGenWeb Tombstone Transcription Project is always looking for volunteers.
