The Williamstown Historical Society is managed by a dedicated group of volunteers who bring diverse interests, skills, and responsibilities to the table. These range from conducting research, organizing and cataloging donations, handling office tasks, raising funds, promoting our cause, and coordinating events. If you possess a specific skill set or want to learn a new one, and have a desire to contribute, we would love to hear from you.
Our research volunteers play a vital role in fulfilling public research inquiries, organizing newly acquired donations, maintaining office operations, entering data, scanning files, and ensuring the preservation of our extensive collection, among other responsibilities.
We warmly welcome the addition of new volunteers, and your valuable assistance will be greatly appreciated.
