Museum Volunteers – Join Our Team!

The Museum welcomes volunteers with a passion for local history and community. We offer flexible volunteer opportunities across three main areas:

• Collection Cataloguing

Help document and care for the Museum’s collection of historical items. Volunteers assist with object handling, data entry, and collection organisation.

• Historical Research

Support exhibitions, publications and community inquiries by delving into archives, old newspapers, and historical records. Volunteers in this area enjoy detail-oriented work and a curiosity about the past.

• Customer Service & Visitor Engagement

Be the welcoming face of the Museum! Volunteers greet visitors, answer questions, and help create a friendly, informative experience for people of all ages.

We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and experience levels. Training and support are provided. If you love history and want to make a difference in your community, we’d love to hear from you.
