    Description

    Learn some local history and help us with cataloging! We need volunteers to catalogue accession forms, documents that formally record the acquisition of new materials (documents, artifacts, or specimens). You will be entering the documents into the Museum catalog and changing them into the "past perfect" tense, among other tasks. This opportunity is open to volunteers who are available in the afternoons on weekdays (Monday-Friday).

    Location

    On-site

    Downers Grove Museum

    831 Maple Ave, Downers Grove, IL 60515, USA

    Please fill out this form

    Instructions:

    As a next step, a staff member will reach out to you and send you the volunteer waiver, application, and schedule a short meeting to go over responsibilities, scheduling, and answering any questions you may have about the opportunity. Then, you will meet with the Museum Supervisor for more in-depth training.
