Knowledge of library systems is desirable, but not necessary. The Historical Society collects the material culture of Montgomery County which includes everything from textiles to medical instruments, furniture to glass and china. Volunteers help maintain the collections and keep them properly stored and preserved and help with exhibitions. Expertise in a collection area is desirable, but not necessary. The annual book sale in September is the Historical Society's largest and most important fund raising event.
Volunteers start sorting the books in the spring to prepare for the fall.
MCHS is already collecting books for September's sale. The more we have, and we have quite a selection, the better the sale does. This is MCHS' largest fund raising event. Each year the sale continues to grow. Remember, it is more cost effective to donate books to MCHS than it is to build a new room to house them.
