The Fabyan Villa needs your help!
Home to over 400 artifacts, the Villa needs a thorough inventory. We are starting one in February, which means cataloguing, describing, photographing and digitizing each artifact in the collection. We need volunteers just like you to help preserve our collection for future generations!
This is perfect if you have a love of history, antiques, and maybe a touch of investigative journalism. It’s a chance to take a peek at artifacts at Fabyan that haven’t been seen in over 20 years.
Time: Shifts available Monday & Wednesday at 10am-4pm from February-April, first Training on January 29th.
Requirements: Clear, concise writing is an important skill for this project. Volunteers must be able to sit and stand. We ask volunteers be comfortable with computers, cameras, and technology.
