Volunteering
Volunteers are the backbone of the Museum, without whom we would not be able to progress our key objective of unlocking our collections to an intergenerational audience. Volunteers provide invaluable support in areas of cataloguing, preservation, administration support, social media engagement, community fundraising, curatorial assistance, and much, much more. It is because of our volunteers that we have such a vibrant network of support committed to ensuring the long-term safeguarding of our collections.
