How participation works

Opportunities are project-based and should state the expected deliverable, time commitment, skills, supervision/contact, status, and whether the role is volunteer, internship, academic collaboration, or another clearly identified arrangement. We do not require ideological agreement; contributors are expected to follow evidence, civility, privacy and research-integrity standards.

We do not promise paid employment unless compensation and funding are explicitly approved. Controlled or internal materials are shared only when needed and authorized; public volunteers normally work from public or publication-cleared sources.

Interested?

Help preserve evidence, document political prisoners, research China’s republican and constitutional history, translate public-interest materials, improve multilingual access, or strengthen our archive and publishing systems.
