Abstract
Abstract When French Statesman and writer Alexis de Tocqueville traveled in the United States in 1831 and 1832, he was amazed by the generosity of Americans in lending their time and expertise voluntarily. Today that same spirit persists for the benefit of individuals, institutions, and communities. In this tradition, volunteers continue to fill vital roles in American museums, with some 70,000 serving throughout the country.1 Without volunteers the majority of smaller museums, especially historic houses, would not be able to open their doors.
