Yorkshire Dales Volunteering in Archaeology

The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority offers a variety of opportunities for individuals interested in contributing to archaeological work. These roles span practical fieldwork, event support, and administrative tasks related to the Historic Environment Record (HER).

Current volunteering opportunities include:

  • Community Archaeology Projects
    These typically involve hands-on archaeological activities such as surveys, excavations, and test pitting. Training is often provided as part of these projects.

  • Dales Archaeology Day
    Volunteers assist with the organisation and delivery of this annual conference, supporting its smooth operation.

  • HER Volunteer Roles
    Depending on current needs, volunteers may help with data entry and other tasks related to the Historic Environment Record.
