Here's where we need help:
- Hanley Farm: Maintaining a 37-acre farm with 7 historic structures involves the help of gardeners, carpenters, general "fix it" people, and several dozen people who assist with special events. If you are interested in volunteering to use your hands, contact Richard Rogers at 541-531-1311 or hanleyfarm@sohs.org. If you would like to help at a special event, contact Alice Mullaly at 541-664-2079 or lmullaly@jeffnet.org.
- Research Library: Several dozen volunteers keep the Research Library running. More are needed to assist customers at the front desk or work on research projects behind-the-scenes. If you are interested in volunteering for either job, contact the Research Library at 541-858-1724 or library@sohs.org.
- Collections: To maintain an artifact collection of over 1 million objects, we need your help! Jobs include cleaning artifacts and the collections storage building, data entry, assisting with dismantling and installing exhibits, and general object care. We also need a volunteer-volunteer coordinator for Collections who can recruit and schedule volunteers for various jobs. For more information contact, Allison Weiss at 541-899-8123 ext. 245 or director@sohs.org.
- Special events: SOHS hosts many special events throughout the year. We need volunteers who like to organize parties, to cook, to decorate, and to help spread the word. For more information, contact Allison Weiss at 541-899-8123 ext. 245 or director@sohs.org.
- Maintenance: Help us to maintain all of these properties by volunteering your professional services: painting, plumbing, HVAC repair and maintenance. We also have the need for carpenters and general "fix it" people. If you'd like to be added to a list of people to call when we need help, contact Allison Weiss at 541-899-8123 ext. 245 or director@sohs.org.
