MEMBERSHIP

 

All members are entitled to vote, and encouraged to contribute to the running of the Museum. Members have the capacity to increase their knowledge of preservation, are encouraged to be active and contribute their skills - all at a time that suits themselves. Other volunteer duties include helping with creating displays, helping with catalogue entry, being able to access our library, photos books, maps etc. An important part of volunteering is showing our visitors around the Museum, as well as general help and maintenance. More volunteers could lead to extended opening hours.

DONATIONS - ITEMS

 

The Historical Society of Mooroopna (HSM) is dedicated to collecting, preserving, exhibiting and interpreting Mooroopna’s History. The HSM recognises that it is a custodian of the material entrusted to it for preservation for future generations. It is therefore committed to ensuring that the collection is properly catalogued and stored in such a way as to be accessible to the members and to the public under supervision.

​

Things to consider when donating items to HSM.

We first need to consider the item/s being offered for the relevance to our collection while adhering to our aims. To help us evaluate the items, it's very useful to tell us as much information as possible about the item and it's history.

 

Information such as:

• What is the history of the Item?

• When, where and by whom was it made, owned or used?

• What stories surround the object or the people connected to it?

• What condition is the item in?

• What are its dimensions?

• Any other information about the story surrounding the item or appearance (e.g. Distinguishing Features)
