volunteer programmes set up and managed by the authors in the
Science Museum, London * examines the development process of the
pilot studies and the consequent establishment of a permanent

mutual benefits that volunteer programmes can bring to museums and
volunteers * offers suggestions on the practical day-to-day

reading for anyone involved with the management and administration
of a museum, or, is thinking of offering their services to a museum
as a volunteer.
