The ‘Volunteering Toolkit for Museums and Heritage Sites’ was produced as part of ‘Accessing Rutland’s Museums’, in collaboration with volunteers and staff from Rutland County Museum, Oakham and Rocks by Rail: The Living Ironstone Museum, Cottesmore.
The toolkit is aimed at volunteer managers and their volunteers and provides accessible and comprehensive guidance on the recruitment, engagement and management of volunteers in museums and heritage sites. It also includes links to resources and further information on volunteer management.
As well as research into best practice across the museum and heritage sector, the toolkit is based upon case studies from a small local government run museum and an independent museum. The toolkit complements the Renaissance East Midlands Flagship Volunteers E-book and takes account of Arts Council England’s museum Accreditation Standard.
