The Program
Departmental Volunteers assist administrative and curatorial departments throughout the Museum with assignments that range from research and cataloguing to clerical work.

Placements are made when there is a departmental request for a specific project. Opportunities are available during the week (and occasionally weekends) on a one-time, one-project, or ongoing basis. A personal interview with the Volunteer Placement Coordinator is required. Due to the large volume of applicants, a resource file of prospective volunteers is maintained should departmental needs arise.
