As a member of The Arts Society, you have the opportunity to get involved in heritage volunteering.  You must be a member to do so due to our insurance requirements.

This video explains the types of volunteering The Arts Society gets involved in. https://brand.theartssociety.org/assets/volunteering-film

The Arts Society Heritage Volunteers are teams of committed non-specialist volunteers who generally work under the guidance of curators and other professionals to help conserve our heritage. 

Depending on what projects are required, either nationally or locally, our Arts Society Volunteers may undertake projects for:

  • museums
  • National Trust properties
  • historic houses
  • libraries and gardens 
  • Local groups

Current Heritage volunteering projects and who to contact are:

  • “Reece Winstone Photographic Archive Project” A national on-line photographic archiving project looking for volunteers across the Arts Society.  The project aims to document the social history of Bristol using old photographs (https://theartssocietystirling.org.uk/AboutUs/Documents.aspx)
  • A local archiving project looking for 1-2 local volunteers from our Society to document the first 35 years of The Arts Society Stirling and Forth Valley.  Please email info@theartssociety.org.uk if you are interested.

The Arts Society Stirling & Forth Valley has for many years been engaged in a succession of conservation projects including:

  • Indexing and transferring Stirling Observer’s record of life in the local area in 1867 and 1868 to a digital format
  • Documenting the papers of a local seed merchant dating back to the 19th century
  • Indexing and digitising the Poor Relief records for Callander, Fintry, Killearn and Strathblane
  • Helping to conserve the uniforms in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regimental Museum in Stirling Castle
  • Cataloguing documents and archival collections on-site in the Stirling Council Archive such as cleaning and storing the Stirling Burgh Records 1628 to 1890 which are then numbered against the Index of Acquisitions. The major role played by the volunteers helped Stirling Council’s Library Services achieve the Investing in Volunteers Standard. The group attached to Stirling Council Archive Department were invited to Council Chambers for the presentation of the Investing in Volunteers Award by George Thomson, Chief Executive of Volunteer Development Scotland.
