We are still unpacking and setting up things in the new museum location. This is your chance to help the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum finish up the move and get prepped for all the visitors in the new year.
We are looking to get a hearty team of volunteers, so bring your friends. We had some wonderful helpers while we packed up the entire collection, and now the type, presses, and printed pieces need to find their home in the new museum location. Our new space will be very good for the future of the museum, since it doubles the amount of space the museum occupies, which means more of the collection will be on display, dedicated residency studios, and a classroom and library. This is one more way to ensure that Two River's, printing, and design history will be preserved and you can be a part of it.

This team of volunteers will finishing up displays, moving pallets, doing general clean up in the new space. Please expect to work an 8 hour day. We will start at 9 am with introductions and a more detailed description of the task and work until 5 pm with a one hour lunch break. Water and coffee will be provided all day and lunch will be provided. Below we have provided some of the local housing options.
We are unpacking a 14 year-old museum with some very heavy, sometimes dusty, and mostly old materials. Because of this you must sign a waiver of liability to participate. You can download that document here to view it before you choose to volunteer. We will provide safety materials, like dust masks and gloves. Please wear layers and be sure to wear sturdy shoes that protect your feet as we will be working on concrete floors all day.
Please register below so we have your contact information. There will only be so many people to a team, so you must register to be part of the volunteer team. There is no cost for this event, it is a volunteer role. We cannot allow minors to volunteer due to insurance liabilities. We will contact you if anything changes for this event. Thank you for your support! If you have any questions please e-mail the museum at info@woodtype.org.
