Volunteers are the backbone of the Chatham Historical Society and its Atwood House Museum. They range in age from High School students to Senior Citizens and include anyone with an interest in history and a desire to share it. Volunteers are needed in virtually all aspects of the Museum's activities:

 

• MUSEUM GUIDES (we need at least 70 each summer)

• ARCHIVAL and LIBRARY WORK (catalogue and organize our acquisitions)

• CURATORIAL WORK (work with the collections and help prepare exhibits)

• FUND RAISING/GRANT WRITING (work with Director/Curator in grants research, program development and grant writing)

• SPECIAL EVENTS (lectures, conferences, our annual Antiques Fair)

• MEMBERSHIP ACTIVITIES (acquisitions/renewals)

• BOARD and COMMITTEE SERVICE (many varied opportunities)

• OFFICE and COMPUTER WORK (put your skills to work or learn new ones)

• SPECIAL RESEARCH PROJECTS (work with our Curator or Archivist)

 

While our lovely Museum is only officially open from mid-June to mid-October, the work of the Museum and its volunteer opportunities continue behind the scenes year 'round. So... please join us! Contact: Stephanie Hamilton 508-945-3967, or hbones11@aol.com.
