Volunteers

Volunteers Are Key!

Without the dedication of our faithful volunteers, the Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center would not be able to operate half as well as it does. Thank you for all the hard work through the years, and in advance for all the years to come!

Like most non-profit organization, the Sheldon Museum operates on a tight budget. Volunteers make all the difference!

Hands on History

A special volunteer project has started at the museum! We need history and photography enthusiasts to screen our collection of 12,300 historic photos and select photos for our slide shows that will show on a photography exhibit on the new flat screen televisions and hang in our main gallery.

A $2,400 gift from the Chilkat Valley Community Foundation supports our Digital Access Capital Project. Gunalcheesh! CVCF

New flat screen televisions will display a hand picked gallery of our collection of historical photographs and we need your help choosing them! This is your chance to get your hands on actual history and be a part of our new technology and the new photography exhibit.
