Volunteer Opportunities
In addition to our dedicated docents we have openings for volunteers in the following areas:
Library:
For cataloging and assisting researchers who come to use the Library.
Military Weapons Conservation:
For ongoing maintenance and cleaning of small arms.
Clothing Storage and Conservation:
We are searching for a dependable, responsible person to become “Curator of Clothing and Accoutrements.”
Exhibit Construction:
Our Museum is unique because we regularly change and update our exhibits. So if you can paint, scrape, saw or turn a wrench this is for you.
Leather Conservation:
We need volunteers to learn how to conserve our leather items. This is an ongoing program and needs volunteers.
Artifacts Storage, Classification and Conservation:
We are searching for individuals to help us “find things” in our extensive collection of artifacts that is growing larger every month.
Administrative Volunteers:
Typing, filing, editing, correcting, data entry, greeting the public, and answering the phone are all tasks that will free the Director and staff from routine duties. A particular need is help with the newsletters and flyers.
Give us a call
If any of these volunteer activities sound interesting to you, call 512-782-5770 and talk to Jeff Hunt about volunteering.
If you know of someone who would be a good volunteer, have them contact us.
We can also schedule “service projects” for Gold Award Candidates, Eagle Scout Candidates, and High School Students.
Volunteers can work as little as four hours a month or as many hours as they want.
