Mission Statement
MISSION STATEMENT The Missouri Historical Society (MHS) serves as the confluence of historical perspectives and contemporary issues to inspire and engage audiences in the St. Louis region and beyond.
Description
Every day, volunteers at the Missouri Historical Society (MHS) help make the history of the St. Louis region more accessible to the entire community. They are an essential part of MHS’s success and its operation, putting their talents to work at the Missouri History Museum, the Library & Research Center, and Soldiers Memorial Military Museum.
MHS seeks to engage volunteers who will lend their time, passion, and skills to aid staff and programs that support our mission and values and who will serve as ambassadors for MHS in their community. The Missouri Historical Society Volunteer Office is committed to making our collections more accessible to the public, engaging audiences through relevant interpretation, and assisting in the advancement of MHS as a whole. We see the cultivation of volunteers as an activity that directly supports our mission to engage people in the St. Louis region and beyond.
