Volunteering

Our volunteers help us to continue Henry Moore’s mission to encourage public appreciation of the visual arts.

Volunteer archive assistants

Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, Hertfordshire

We are looking for enthusiastic and methodical people to join our friendly team and assist us with the cataloguing, digitisation and rehousing of our varied archive collections.

The Henry Moore Archive contains over three-quarters of a million items, making us one of the world’s largest archives dedicated to a single artist. Our collections, now housed in our purpose built stores at the Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, Hertfordshire, illuminate Moore’s creativity and curiosity, and document his life, work and influence.

Our team of volunteers gain insight into Moore’s processes, output and reputation and crucially help to provide access to our resources to researchers, professionals and the wider public.
