Volunteer Opportunities

One of our most significant needs is for volunteers. Many people often comment that they are not sure what they can do at the museum therefore, in response to this we have developed a short list of opportunities. This is not a comprehensive list and if you feel you may have other skills to offer, or have special interest in individual artifacts or exhibits, please feel free to call the museum.

Volunteers can:

• Assist in sorting and cataloging photographs
• Catalogue newspapers and other paper items
• Assist in designing exhibits
• Carpentry skills are always welcome
• Create signs for exhibits and individual artifacts
• Collaborate in museum cleaning
• Provide assistance with cataloguing collections into computer software
• Photograph artifacts for digital accession record
• Provide tours for visitors
• Document oral histories of museum artifacts
• Aid museum staff during special programs throughout the year
• Assist in program development
• Support museum membership and fundraising activities
• Sewing skills are very desirable

This is not an exhaustive list and there are many other needs that volunteers can fulfill. There is no minimum time commitment or set number of days required. If you feel that you may be able to offer a single hour, a full day, or possibly a steady number of hours or days to the museum please call us at 563-933-4615. We appreciate your continued support.
