We've had volunteers
-washing and ironing soiled tablecloths that were used during programs
-making the schedule for front-desk volunteers
-repairing repro clothing worn by staff
-repairing wooden toys that were broken by enthusiastic young visitors
-producing flyers and program postcards from home
-research at off-site libraries for specific museum needs
Good luck!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] At home volunteering
We are a small prehistoric Native American focused Museum.
I will appreciate any suggestions on the subject of "at home"
volunteering. We recently surveyed our visitors and found that 42%
would like to have "at home" volunteer opportunities. Right off the
top, except for those with specialized skills like graphic design or
language translation, our ideas are limited to data entry and scanning
documents.
Does anyone have experience or insights with this type volunteer
opportunity.
Thanks,
Robert Connolly
