Volunteer

It’s Your Chance to Get Involved!

Below are some specific—but not all—ways to volunteer
 your precious time. At the bottom of the page there’s a simple form you can submit if you’d rather not email.

Become a Docent

We need docents to greet visitors at the museum from April – Dece mber. We are open Friday, 12 pm-4 pm and Saturday from 12 pm-4 pm. If you can commit to being a docent once a week or even once a month for either a 2 or 4-hour shift, we would be grateful. (And you’ll have fun!) Contact Myra Adams at mnadams@bluefield.edu or (540) 239-5492 for more information.

Preserving and Publishing Old Courthouse Records

Over the last four years, we have been digitizing and publishing old hand-written Floyd County Courthouse records on our archives website. Some of these documents are almost 200 years old and date back to the formation of the county in 1831. This project will take years, and we need your time and expertise to make it happen. If you would like to be a part of this project, please contact Jim Slusher at vicepresident@floydhistoricalsociety.org or call 540-745-3247.

Cataloging Historical Items, Images, and Documents

Interested in history and specifically the history of Floyd County? We need volunteer catalog registrars to assist in cataloging our backlog of historical items, images, and documents. Some computer experience is helpful. Please contact Paul Kitchen at registrar@floydhistoricalsociety.org or call 540-745-3247.
