Listers,
I replied to Cheryl and Anna directly with a pdf attachment of a brochure and the info below. Unfortunately, the listserv does not
allow attachments so if anyone else wants any of the info I mentioned, please feel free to contact me directly.
Cheryl and Anna,
CHM enjoys a very successful volunteer cataloging program; in fact it’s the stuff of our current IMLS Museums for
For IMLS, I updated our job description for these volunteer catalogers. We also require volunteers to apply for the ‘job’ and ask that
they sign an agreement re: work place guidelines and professionalism. I’m happy to share any of those items with you too.

Subject: Recruiting volunteers to work with museum objects
Hello Listers!
I need to develop a brochure or materials to recruit volunteers who would be working directly with the museum collection, for example cataloging objects or helping with an inventory. Our museum has a volunteer program and all volunteers have background checks. I
want to develop brochure or something to attract them to the curatorial department. Does anyone have examples they would share? Many thanks -Cheryl
