Due to the national lockdown and project construction, the Old Library & Museum and Aurora Tea Rooms @The Dukeries are closed. However, we are making plans to welcome new volunteers and have carefully reviewed our volunteer opportunities to ensure activities are Covid-19 secure. We have now begun volunteer recruitment.

We are looking to build a small team of enthusiastic volunteers to be part of the Heritage and Health Project: Returning the heritage to the Old Library and Museum. This is an exciting time to join us as the project will see the restoration of the Old Library and Museum and the introduction of heritage activities to boost wellbeing. Through a Virtual Museum in a newly created Heritage Hub within the building, the project will provide the local community with new ways to connect with its heritage and allow people to engage with locally important artefacts and stories. 

Are you intrigued by the idea of a 'Virtual Museum' and are interested in supporting its development? This role could be for you.

We are seeking Volunteer Curators to start the process of creating the content for the Virtual Museum. The Virtual Museum is a digital platform that will reunite some of the collection from the former Worksop Museum in virtual form. Volunteer Curators will play a vital role in the Heritage and Health Project selecting a core set of objects, photographing them and telling their stories.

Our volunteer programme also encourages a more flexible approach and if 'micro' or 'remote' roles are more your thing we welcome a chat about how we can support you. We hope you find a role that interests you.

Get in touch if you have any heritage volunteer queries or questions, or to register your interest in one of the roles. We would love to hear from you.
