If you’re in the Rhode Island area and interested in maritime history, SSHSA would love your help!
The Ship History Center is always willing to take in volunteers. Work with staff members to process collections, maintain our library, prepare materials, and be surrounded by various maritime artifacts and resources while you do it.
Interested in learning about the tasks you could be doing? Look at this blurb from a recent student intern:
“I get to do a lot of fun things with my time. I am
Kae Ferragamo, intern Fall 2023
responding to research requests. I get to take in
donations and package them in preservation paper
or display cases. I read every piece of paper so that
I can add a description to our online catalog for
members. It feels like an awesome brain game every day.”
