Volunteering and Internships in Special Collections

NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Galveston and Texas History Center is not accepting applications for volunteers or interns at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you have a passion for local history and excellent organizational skills, the Galveston and Texas History Center is the place for you! Volunteers enjoy a flexible schedule, friendly work environment, and never-ending learning opportunities among the History Center’s treasures.

Volunteers and interns help with:

• Processing and organizing archival collections (inventorying and describing items, labeling, and data entry)
• Digitizing photographs and documents
• Creating topical online exhibits
• Planning, hosting, or assisting with local history programs and events
• Teaching classes on topics of your expertise (e.g. genealogy, house history research, your own historical research)
• Community outreach
