Syd Howells (Egypt Centre Volunteer Manager) - Egypt Centre volunteers: a history 1997-2023

A look at the origins of the Egypt Centre Volunteers, exploring some of the many highlights of their activities. From the very beginning of the museum, and indeed before its physical creation, the importance of involving volunteers was recognised to ensure the success of the Egypt Centre. The volunteers are the public face of the museum, and they guide visitors around the collection and demonstrate public activities such as the eternally popular mummification and the material handling board, where visitors can handle genuine ancient Egyptian artefacts, bringing the culture back to life in their imagination. Without them the story of the Egypt Centre would be a far shorter read.
