Volunteer
The Lower Merion Historical Society could not exist without the volunteers who give their time and energy to support our collections and programs. We rely on volunteers to perform many essential functions that help us preserve and share our community’s history, like transcription, data entry, research, scanning, photography, and more.
Even with a few hours, you can make a significant contribution to preserving our local history. To participate in a local history project that suits your time and interests, please contact us at info@lowermerionhistory.org.
Benefits
- Get in touch with primary sources. Nothing quite matches the experience of examining documents and objects created by previous generations.
- Get to know our unique collection. For three-quarters of a century we’ve collected and preserved an unmatched archive of books, photos, maps, and artifacts that tell our story. And continue to do so!
- Discover your own past. Who lived in my house? What was life like for my family?
- Work with great people. Meet neighbors and new friends with shared interests.
- Build community. Preserving our history and sharing our stories helps bind us together in a common cultural experience.
- Learn new skills. Volunteering at LMHS is great for students. Gain experience in historical/archival research, learn our collection management software, write for our blog, and/or program a public event.
