Volunteers are our ambassadors in the community and essential to the accomplishment of the Museum’s mission. They work in areas from researching genealogy, cataloging artifacts and library materials, to assisting with membership and mailings.

They also work in the Museum Store creating displays and greeting patrons. Some become docents, assisting the Museum Educator with visiting classes, and others give lectures, coordinate fund raisers or help with the capital campaign, "History on the Move."

A new partnership with WNMU-FM will create an oral history program called "Speak U.P." Listeners may call a dedicated phone line at Public Radio and record oral histories. Transcripts of the recordings will be placed in the Museum archives. The Museum is hoping to create a special corps of volunteers to conduct in-depth oral histories and transcribe them. We already have a list of people who should be interviewed. If you are interested in working on this important project, let us know.

Consider becoming a volunteer at the museum and we promise to put your unique and wonderful skills to use!
