Do you love history and want to serve your community?

There's no better way to share your love of history than by volunteering at the Maryland Historical Society!

Each year, close to 200 volunteers, working in almost every institutional division, make it possible for thousands of visitors to explore the MdHS's collections, conduct research in the library, enjoy public programs and the Museum Shop, and discover all that the MdHS has to offer. Volunteers shape visitors' experiences of the MdHS while they perform essential tasks and gain valuable skills and experiences working among professionals.

Beyond the benefits of a stimulating environment and the chance to work side-by-side with professionals and volunteers with a shared love of history, MdHS volunteers also receive a wide range of more tangible benefits. These include opportunities to attend free classes and lectures, participate in trips to historic sites around the state, receive recognition at volunteer events and receptions, and enjoy discounts at events and the Museum Shop.

Explore the many areas in which the MdHS relies on the work of volunteers, and know that the MdHS Volunteer Services Coordinator will work to match each volunteer with the position to which they are best suited.

Many thanks for your interest in volunteering at the Maryland Historical Society.
