The Harpenden History Society preserves and shares stories of our town. The Society brings Harpenden’s heritage to life.
Volunteers Needed!
Harpenden History Society is actively recruiting volunteers to contribute to the running of its Museum in the Park. Based on the lower floor of the Eric Morecambe Centre in Rothamsted Park, the Museum is usually open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 11-3. We currently have about 45 volunteers who donate their time to keep this increasingly popular venue open, covering 2-hour slots, along with a fellow volunteer. You could commit to any number of sessions from as little as once a month to once a week. The choice is yours.
Depending on your skills and interests your time might be spent researching our archive materials, helping put our regular exhibitions together or responding to local history information requests. Outside of the Museum, you might volunteer for a more specialised business support-type role, drawing on your experience.
Whether you already have a love and knowledge of Harpenden's history or would like to learn more and share what you know with our visitors, we would love to hear from you.
Please visit us at the Museum and talk to our volunteers there to learn more about what they do. Alternatively contact us at:
