Pioneer Village Museum
Barron County Historical Society
We are open Friday 1 5 pm, Saturday 10 am 5 pm, and Sunday 1
5 pm.,
Memorial Day to the 2nd weekend in September.
We have about 250 volunteers, who sign up for buildings. We need a
minimum
of 5 volunteers to run the buildings (seven on a non-event Saturday),
but we
shoot for about 50 during large events. On Saturdays, some work ½
days and
others all day their choice.
Most volunteers work random days, but some work a given day each week
unless
they tell us they cant make it. A couple work multiple days a week.
The only paid positions are: Director salaried
Assistant
Director
hourly
We have been using SignUpGenius to get our sign-up sheets out to the
volunteers. Then two of us spend about half a day calling volunteers to
fill the vacant spots. We really like this method, but a large number
of
our volunteers do not use computers to their full extent, as they are
quite
elderly. It seems to work well for volunteers who are under about age
75.

Subject: Doing research on Curators/Guides
Doing a survey to see what other Museums are doing that have
Curators/Guides. Looking for answers to the following questions.
What hours are your Museums open?
Do the same people work all day, or do you have split shifts?
How often does 1 person work in a week (days in a week)?
Are you paid or is it a volunteer position?
If you are paid, what type of compensation do you receive?
Any other information you might have that would be helpful would be
greatly
appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Cathi Malke
