Following the acquisition of the Mander and Mitchenson Collection, we have a number of new exciting projects coming up in the Theatre Collection which we are keen to allocate to Volunteers.

We also have the ongoing project for the preservation of the John Vickers glass plate negatives for which we require help to create specialist storage, and of course the never-ending theatre programme sorting project.
