Data from affiliate annual reports indicates that of the nearly 400 local h istory affiliates in WI, 75 percent are all-volunteer endeavors. Museums wi th paid staff also depend heavily on volunteers for operations, events, and
 educational tours.

Wisconsin ranked third in the nation in 2015 for volunteerism rates. You ca n find interesting information about volunteer issues and trends on the Cou ncil of Non Profits website: https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/tools-reso urces/volunteers

Hello Cathi - These are answers to your questions in regard to the Dunn Cou nty Historical Society

1) Our museum hours are 10-5 Wednesday through Sunday

2) Most of the time we have stuff working each day - not necessarily s plit shifts but always have at least 1 paid staff in the building.

3) Executive Director works 5 days a week. Other staff work 3-4 days
 a week

4) We have many volunteers. Executive Directors is full time, we have
 4 "core" part time staff position that range between 20-30 hours a week. I work 30 hours per week doing programming/education

5) Paid hourly with good compensation, but I am part time and work a 2 nd job.

Thanks DTD

Doing a survey to see what other Museums are doing that have Curators/Guide s. 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
