Volunteer - The Bus Archive - the memory of the bus industry

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation. It is rewarding work as part of a great team - you don't have to be a transport enthusiast to take part and full training and support will be given. Volunteers take part in a range of activities including helping with group visits, cataloguing, digitisation and collections conservation tasks.

After I retired I wanted to do some volunteer work, and the Archive was a revelation. Where else could I be doing something I love and also feel that I am doing something useful? The company is fantastic; the first day I worked there I was hooked and still am after three years." ”

I thoroughly enjoy working at the Archive, being around like minded people and doing interesting work. There are truly fascinating things here, for example the styles of information leaflets and booklets produced over the years." ”
