Ever wondered what it’s like to help uncover the stories left behind on California’s desert landscapes? 🏜️

The BLM Barstow Field Office is looking for volunteers to support archaeological field surveys, documentation, and hands-on stewardship of cultural sites on public lands. You’ll work alongside professional archaeologists, discover local history, and get a firsthand look at how archaeology works in the federal government.

No experience needed. Training is provided, and anyone 18+ with an interest in archaeology, history, or cultural resources is welcome to join.

Fieldwork happens outdoors on uneven terrain and in varying weather, so come ready for an adventure.

When we launched our free paid limited edition postcard in 2020 we made custom stamps honoring little-known feminist architect Alice Constance Austin with images of her cameo and her Rose Residence architectural model, both captured at Llano del Rio and discovered during a Beinecke Library visiting research fellowship.

On June 16, 2020, the USPS put an end to the custom stamp program.

We are still crushed about it.

Postage for a 4x6 postcard today is an impressive $0.65! 📈

Why not mail in your ballot while waiting for our geocache restock announcement.
