The Mazomanie Historical Society museum is open from 1-4pm on Sundays and
holidays from Sunday & Memorial Day through Labor Day and by appointment
Members and friends of the society are volunteer docents. Most docents help
once a year. We require 2 docents, never one person alone.
We have a volunteer historian and a research room which is open by
appointment. This room is in the public library which is a few steps from
the museum
I am a paid part time curator and my hours per week vary greatly. The
society holds a Benefactor Fund Drive in December and whatever money is
raised is for my hourly compensation. The drive has raised from $4,000 per
year to $9,000 per year. I spread my hours out over the entire year so I am
available on a regular basis so I might work anywhere from 3-12 hours a
week.

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
President, Peshtigo Historical Society
