The Society is proud to operate the only county museum in the state with a full-time archaeologist on staff, an active archaeology program and a nationally recognized repository of archaeological objects relating to the Saginaw area. Much of our progress in this area is due to the hard work and countless hours of many volunteers. These volunteers help us in two different areas:

In the laboratory onsite at the Castle Museum, volunteers may assist in washing, sorting and labeling artifacts; recording additions to the library collection; organization of records; data entry of records.

After gaining some experience and training in the lab, volunteers may also have oppurtunities to participate in archaeological fieldwork including surveys and excavations.
