We hope every volunteer at OHS benefits from the experience in a variety of ways. Opportunities to learn about Oregon history, develop new skills, and contribute to the community are all a part of volunteering. Active volunteers also receive a 10% discount on purchases in our Museum Store, free admission to the museum and Research Library, and a subscription to our scholarly journal, the Oregon Historical Quarterly. Volunteers are also given opportunities for growth and development, including field trips to area museums and historical sites and lectures on various topics of Oregon history. Volunteers also receive a monthly volunteer newsletter to keep them informed about membership and volunteer activities and opportunities.
