Have you ever thought of volunteering? As a
volunteer, you can help the Cowlitz County Historical Museum and Society by
contributing your time and sharing your wealth of experience. There are
many different volunteering opportunities available:
Front Desk Receptionist/Gift Shop Cashier - Do you love
visiting with people? In many ways, being a receptionist is the most
important role in the museum - because you represent to the public a
friendly, inviting experience!
Artifact/Photograph Collections - Do you enjoy looking at
"neat old things" and learning more about them? Volunteers who work behind
the scenes doing cataloging and inventorying of the collections are really
carrying out the "meat and potatoes" function of the museum's mission: To
preserve our history. If you like digging for answers, this
is a job you'll love!
Computer Scanning/Data Entry - With over archival
photographs and negatives already scanned into our ever-growing research
database, we still have a lot of work and data entry to do in achieving our
goal of making our collections more accessible to the public! (And the
volunteers are having a lot of fun in the process!)
Research/Writing - The Cowlitz Historical Quarterly
editor and committee are always looking for fresh ideas!
Special Events - Do you like to host parties? We can use
your help planning, setting up, and staffing exhibit openings, as well as
other big "events" like the museum's annual Winterfest open house and our
popular Bush Log Cabin exhibit during the Cowlitz County Fair!
The rewards of volunteering are many, including the friendships you'll make
while contributing to the vibrancy and long-term success of a worthwhile
organization. So, what are you waiting for? For more information on
volunteering, please contact the Museum Director Dave Freece at 360-577-3119

Student Volunteers |
Again this year, the Cowlitz County Historical Museum is a volunteer site
for high school students filling their twenty hours of community service
requirement for graduation. Students have served in a variety of capacities
including creating sample craft
projects, helping with after school tours, working at the museum’s reception
desk, and assisting with special programs. During Winter Festival students
can be found hosting or working at various tables. We are delighted to
welcome these enthusiast young people and be part of their educational
program!
Students interested in becoming museum volunteers are invited contact
education coordinator
Danielle Robbins
at 360-577-3119 or
robbinsd@co.cowlitz.wa.us, and to pick up a Student Volunteer
Application.
