Studies and Research on Online Volunteering

Very little research has been done relating to online volunteering.

Here is research that we know about:

The Virtual Volunteering Project, based at the University of Texas at Austin, did a few informal studies regarding online volunteering among different services and their users in 1997, 1998 & 1999.

Vic Murray and Yvonne Harrison of the University of Victoria produced Virtual Volunteering: Current Status and Future Prospects, regarding online volunteering in Canada, with findings applicable for online volunteering in other countries.

We know of no other online resources regarding research or studies into online volunteering/virtual volunteering. If you know of such a study, please contact us with more information, so we can highlight it here.
