As ASHG is completely volunteer run, there are many ways of getting involved depending on your interests, your availability and the way you like to work.
Bring along your love of history and sense of fun and see what appeals to you.
Some of the volunteering opportunities include:
- Joining our drop-in day team at the history room – a great way to talk to people about local history
- Participating in a community history project e.g. collaborating on researching a geographic area, organising a history walk, and gathering oral histories, photos and documents
- Programming and organising history events such as conferences, talks and workshops. Volunteers are also needed to help set these events up
- Participating in community events such as festivals and fetes to reach out to new people about history
- Assisting with publicity, displays, social media and the website
- Videoing, photographing and sound recording interviews and events
- Researching local history and staying abreast of new developments in local history research
- Joining the committee and planning other ways to engage with the community.
