Volunteer Opportunities

We need volunteers! If you have an interest in cataloging artifacts, giving tours, entering data using our museum software, or have a special skill you’d like to share, then we are the place for you! The museum is always looking for dedicated volunteers who are able to donate their time and energy. Contact us at (317)-635-7329 for information on volunteering.

Science, Medicine & History!

Use your interest in these subjects as a volunteer at the Indiana Medical History Museum. As the oldest free-standing pathology laboratory in the nation, the museum offers the opportunity to use your talents in a truly unique environment. Housing an autopsy room, amphitheater, laboratories and brain specimens, the museum gives visitors a glimpse of the earliest research in scientific psychiatry where, in 1896, pathologists began the search for the physical causes of mental illness. The building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You can be a part of a fascinating museum by volunteering as a docent to help with tours, or as a researcher to assist with programming or artifacts.

Call Virginia Terpening Wednesday through Friday at (317) 635-7329 or contact us by email for volunteer information.
