A family memory. An old photograph. A detail we should correct.

Help make this shared history richer and more accurate. Write in Bengali or English. No account is needed, and an editor reviews every contribution before anything is published.

Volunteer with Aguri Heritage

Help preserve our shared history

We welcome volunteers who would like to help research, review and document Aguri heritage. You can contribute in Bengali or English, according to your interests and the time you can offer.

  • Research topics and sources: explore Aguri history, people, villages, culture and publications. Find reliable references and clearly distinguish documented facts from memories or uncertain claims.
  • Proofread in Bengali and English: help improve spelling, grammar, names, dates, citations and readability across the site.
  • Interview Aguri senior citizens: help preserve oral history, including family memories, village life, customs and experiences of change. Ask permission before interviewing or recording, and agree separately on what may be shared publicly.
  • Transcribe and translate: turn interviews and historical texts into readable transcripts, or help translate and compare the Bengali and English editions while preserving their meaning.
  • Help organise the archive: identify and describe photographs, letters and documents, check captions and source details, or suggest missing topics and corrections.

Interested in volunteering? Use our contact form with the subject “Volunteer”. Tell us which activities interest you, which languages you can help with and how much time you can offer. Please do not include private details about interviewees.

For oral-history contributions, identify the speaker and the interview date only with their permission, note any uncertainty, and respect requests for anonymity or limits on publication. All material remains subject to editorial review and the existing contributor terms.
