Each year since 2010, before the Museums Alaska Annual Meeting, a group of volunteers gives their time to complete a project for a museum in the conference community.
2019 ANGELS PROJECTS
This year for the first time we will hold two Angels Projects on Tuesday, September 24th from 9am-4pm. The hosting institutions will be the Kodiak Historical Museum and the Alutiiq Museum & Archaeological Repository. The projects may involve some aspects of the following:
- inventorying collections
- improving storage of collections
- archaeological collections
- documenting archival collection content
- rehousing archival materials
- ethnographic/contemporary art pieces needing custom box-making
- Past Perfect database entry
VOLUNTEER SEPTEMBER 24, 2019

Please write an email to let us know 1) if you consider any of the above areas to be a strength in your skillset and 2) if any of these areas are of particular interest to you (if not, that is fine, too!).
