From helping care for our animals to gardening to building picnic tables and more, there is always plenty to do at Gibbs Farm!
Publications Volunteer Opportunities
Are you a writer, editor, historian, researcher, or out-of-the-box thinker? Then RCHS publishing might be the place for you. We have a number of volunteer opportunities: manuscript reviews, book reviews, research assistance, project or event assistance, correspondence assistance, and/or editorial board member. Contact editor@rchs.com to learn more.
Collections Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are needed in the collections department to digitize and catalog newly accessioned photographs and catalog new archival collections and artifacts. There’s no experience required, just an interest in research, preserving history, and a good attention to detail, although, computer aptitude is a must. You’ll likely need to access other digital resources to prepare the best catalog records. Scanning photographs and photographing artifacts using a DSLR camera is alsoneeded. Training will be provided on how best to handle historic items, as well as a database manual of the industry-standard meta data methods and terminology. Work must be completed in the Landmark Center collections office in 3-5 hour weekly periods during the hours of 830a-430p, M-F. If you’re interested in learning more or setting up time to meet and go over projects in more detail, please reach out to Mollie Spillman, Director of Collections and Exhibitions, mollie@rchs.com.
