I am secretary for the Steamtown Volunteer Association at Steamtown
National Historic Site, Scranton, PA. We are a living history museum
complex for the steam era with a train excursion, working roundhouse,
maintenance and locomotive shops, as well as two museums and  theater.
We have been recently been challenged by our Superintendent to expand
our volunteer pool especially for interpretive volunteers.

I suspect that we are not the only museum complex in this situation. Do
any of you have any successful strategies that we can try? What are the
best target groups for recruitment? What approaches have you found best
to try?
