Volunteer

Volunteers are invaluable to the operation of the Buffalo History Museum. Volunteers assist with nearly every aspect of museum operations from helping with fundraising events, giving museum tours, and cataloging artifacts.

Please note, special qualifications such as formal experience handling artifacts, working in libraries, teaching, or more may be required for some opportunities.

These volunteers assist in a wide range of activities from guiding tours, managing youth activity tables, to assisting with programming or outreach in the community.

Event volunteers support the Museum’s programs and fundraisers by greeting guests, assisting admissions with registration, and bartending.

The Research Library’s staff utilizes skilled volunteers for assistance with archiving materials and conducting special research projects. Volunteer must have library science degree and experience with archiving and cataloging.

Through internships, students can earn course credit while gaining valuable museum experience.
