Introduction to museum volunteers

 

An introductory guide to planning for, recruiting and training volunteers in your museum. Developed by Museums Galleries Scotland.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of museums. They are often the first representative of a museum that people will see. Knowing how to work with your volunteers is, therefore, essential to the success of the museum.

Topics covered:

  • Getting started
  • Planning for the future
  • Stages of volunteering
  • The legal stuff
  • Supporting Documents

Museums & Galleries of NSW helps small-medium museums, galleries and Aboriginal cultural centres create exciting experiences for visitors and, through this, thriving local NSW communities. We don’t run museums, galleries and cultural centres but we care about those who do. We develop their skills, connect them with others in the industry, provide funding, point visitors their way, and give them access to ground-breaking exhibitions.

Museums & Galleries of NSW is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

Museums & Galleries of NSW acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and all the other Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work.
We pay respect to them as First Nations people with continuing connection to land, place, waters and community.
