Heritage Volunteers may be asked to help conserve or catalogue books, manuscripts, archives and maps, conserve or clean textiles or metalwork, or act as guides or stewards in museums, historic houses or gardens. Appropriate training is given by professionals. Volunteers help with conservation and preservation of our heritage in non-specialist but vital ways by caring for collections and recording documents.

Our last Heritage project involved volunteers receiving training in the cleaning and restoration of old books. They then worked for a number of years at Goodnestone Park putting their training to good use in the library there.

We are currently investigating other possibilities for a Heritage Volunteer Project.  If you have any ideas regarding a possible project, please contact a member of the committee.
