The Museum's collections team is responsible for creating new exhibits, maintaining and processing our collection of Cold War artifacts, conservation, and artifact research. With the variety of tasks, you can experience a wide swath of museum work and focus on projects that align with your historical or career interests. Past collections volunteers have built exhibits, conducted inventories, and done original research for publication using the museum's collection.
By joining the team you can work directly with the collection in a small museum environment. Collections work requires diligence, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn. Previous museum experience or a history-related degree preferred but not required. We welcome you to visit the museum and meet the curator before volunteering! Docents are expected to volunteer in-person at least one day per weekend and preferably both days. (Our hours are Saturdays 11-4 and Sundays 1-4, or eight hours per week total)
