Internships and Volunteer Opportunities


Volunteer Opportunities:

Volunteers make things happen. When the collections manager and / or the archivist are outnumbered 20,000 objects to 1 person the task can be daunting. Volunteers are what keep projects moving along. Who do we consider for volunteer work?

People with a few hours or more a week to spare, OR People who love history, organizing or working with computers, OR People thinking of a career in museum work

Volunteering can be a great way to involve yourself in the community, learn new things, meet new people or determine if a career in the museum field is right for you. We are more than willing to work around your schedule and interests. There are plenty of tasks for everyone, so please consider us!
