We Need New Volunteers.

Most of our current volunteers are members of the “Friends” and come in to the Depot once a week or once a fortnight. However, the pattern of support for some of the new projects will be far more flexible and will not necessarily involve regular attendance at the site but will involve an initial training..

There are 3 new projects:-
1. The updating and expansion of the “Modes” (museum catalogue and acquisition records) system to current museum standards

2. The digitisation of the photographic collection and creation of a photographic record of the physical collection (both of which will need attendance at the site) and

3. The creation of an oral history archive (which involves interviewing and recording peoples verbal recollections using approved museum methodologies).

We need some idea of how many new volunteers may be interested in working (no matter how few hours per month/year they could be available) as we apply for the sponsorships for these activities and in particular the initial training costs.

It will certainly be next year before these projects become active (it will take that long to get the money) and we recognise that circumstances may change but it would be helpful if you declared an interest even if you have to pull out later.

Declarations of interest can be through the Website, by email or by contact with either the “Friends” or the Trust. Click the contact us link to get in touch.

We hope that you will consider joining us and we look forward to hearing from you.
