Summary
Hi there, if you are enjoying the podcasts, please let us know. We’d also love to hear your thoughts on these podcasts in Season 1, but also any topics you’d like to see in future episodes in Season 2.
We visit Malton Museum to learn how a small, volunteer-run collection turns two rooms into a living archive, linking a Roman cavalry fort to today’s racing town. Volunteers share how outreach, oral history, and tours keep heritage alive while offering purpose and skills.
• why time after big life changes can fuel volunteering
• how a two-room museum curates 20,000 artefacts
• front-of-house, collections, exhibitions and outreach roles
• recording living memory for future generations
• school sessions with a Roman legionary and handling kits
• adult walking tours on Romans, brewing, racing and Georgian streets
• the value of volunteer hours to the local economy
• Roman cavalry roots and the modern racing industry
• a chance Roman coin hoard and its research impact
• digital booking, festivals and growing new programmes
• pride of place, new skills and social bonds
