Partners and volunteers of the archive service
We work with lots of different groups and organisations to help care for and share our collections. These partnerships help us improve our services and make history more fun and useful for everyone.
Volunteer with us
We have over 80 amazing volunteers who help us in Stafford, Lichfield and online. Volunteers help us look after the collections, research documents and share them with the public. Find out more about volunteering on our website.
You can volunteer if you’re 18 or older (or 16+ if you want to be a Welcome Host). If you’d like to know more or get a role description, please email: sro.volunteers@staffordshire.gov.uk
