What is Heritage Volunteering?

Hertiage Volunteers are members of The Arts Society who give their time to help preserve our heritage.  They have commitment and enthusiam, the ability to work as part of a team and enjoy making friends!  And, of course, learning new skills and expertise.  Heritage Volunteers receive relevant training from professional conservators, advisors and curators.

Some examples are:

-  conservation of books, manuscripts, archives and maps

-  cataloguing documents and archival listing

-  documentation of objects including listing and transcribing

-  guiding for all types of groups

-  conservation of metalwork - cleaning and cataloguing arms and armour, medals and military silver

-  preventative conservation of textiles.  Replica work, creation of period costumes and methods of storage

-  stewarding in museums, historic houses and gardens and front of house meeting and greeting visitors

-  gardens, researching and recording
