🏢 About the local organisation
The project aims to contribute to the conservation and interpretation of the archaeological attributes of the Outstanding Universal Value of the property and to raise awareness of the local community about the World Heritage status, the value of the site and its sustainable management.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will support documentation and management of archaeological artefacts excavated in recent years. Under the supervision of the museumreserve’s staff, they will sort the artefacts from the temporary storage, take photographs and create short descriptions before adding them the museum’s permanent collection. In addition, the volunteers will assist in maintenance activities and archaeological excavations conducted in the Bolgar Historical and Archaeological Complex, as well as help to prepare short interpretation videos about key historic monuments of the site.
