volunteer. 

We invite Kansas City’s design and business communities, students, historians and fans of design to help preserve our shared design legacy through volunteering, donating or sponsorships. One ongoing need is to help identify and document design communication and advertising works from 1900-present with stories, images, videos and oral histories before the twentieth century is lost to memory, digital degradation, and dumpsters.

  • Designers, art directors, illustrators, writers, photographers, visual communicators

  • Archivists, historians, educators, companies, arts organizations, creatives, lovers of design

  • The tech-minded. Help us build the smartest connection between then and now.

  • Companies with their own archives 

  • Schools with design + art history departments
