From the article:
NARA’s volunteer program in Washington, D.C., began at the time of the nation’s bicentennial, when a few docents were recruited and trained to provide information about the Charters of Freedom in the Rotunda. Since 1976, the size of the volunteer corps has grown significantly, and the types of projects the volunteers are engaged in have expanded.
Currently there are more than 150 active NARA volunteers in the Washington, D.C., area between the ages of 21 and 89 who, in the first nine months of fiscal year 2006, contributed 14,075 hours of their time to NARA. They spend their time as genealogy aides, docents, visitor service volunteers, and staff aides.
