The Idaho Military History Museum has a great need for volunteers to conduct an effective museum and educational program. The Museum is looking for the volunteers with the following skills: Museum Docents - We need docents for midweek and Saturdays;
Carpenters Display construction and diorama layouts;
Oral History Development Lots of stories need to be recorded before it is too late. Again, we have a lot of interest in this but we need a Director for it.
Fund Raising We are a non-profit organization trying to build up an Endowment and maintain day to day operations.
Computer and Data Base Management (We have the computer, we have the software, we just need a computer savvy volunteer to help.) Library and Archival Operations Our library index is on 3x5 cards, again we need a computer savvy volunteer to help out and our Librarian is looking for an assistant. This work must be done at the Museum, i.e., you can't do it from home.
Historians and Historical Researchers We have several items and projects that need a good historical researchers touch. If you're interested, please call the museum at (208) 272-4841.
If you are a military retiree, veteran, military history buff, or student who enjoys history and wants the help serve the community, give us a call, we have just what you are looking for!
