    The research staff sponsor students in a wide variety of roles from graduate students, to undergraduate students seeking research experience, to volunteers to contribute to various aspects of collection maintenance.  Graduate students and undergraduates should consult the faculty home pages to determine which research program is right for you.

    Volunteers are needed for collection maintenance.  Collections require a lot of work so that they remain viable entities.  We encourage all those interested in learning how to curate a significant museum collection to contact the Curator .  The experience gained in collections maintenance will help students prepare for jobs and graduate school and you can earn course credit (undergraduate special problems) in the process.
