Getting Involved with the Gabriola Museum
Some of Our Committees Include
Acquisitions and Collections
Working with the Archivist, members document, organize, and build the Museum’s collections of print and artifacts; acquire information relevant to Gabriola; and respond to genealogical and archival requests.
Education
Members plan and organize public events and presentations, coordinate tours, school visits and workshops, as well as train volunteers.
Displays and Exhibits
Members plan, prepare and produce the exhibits in the museum. This is a hands-on group who roll up their sleeves and indulge their creativity to bring Gabriola’s history alive.
History
Members respond to information requests from the public; write research articles; pursue projects of historic interest; and assist the Archivist and other Committees as necessary.
Maintenance
Members maintain the interior and exterior physical fabric of the building, and the grounds. They organize work bees, and don’t mind getting their hands dirty painting, landscaping, and repairing the Museum as needed.
Fundraising
Members utilize various strategies to increase revenues for the Museum. Activities include holding raffles, organizing special events, and preparing and submitting grant applications.
Membership
Members maintain an up-to-date register of all Gabriola Historical and Museum Society members, oversee annual membership renewals, and coordinate a membership blitz annually.
