MiBAC seeks volunteers for Angelica Library: they will do filing at 5 euros gross per hour


MiBAC seeks volunteers for the Angelica Library in Rome: they will do archiving and be paid 5 euros gross per hour.

The Ministry of Cultural Heritage is seeking volunteers for the Angelica Library in Rome. Not only that: the volunteers who will participate in the call for volunteers just issued by MiBAC must have at least three years’ experience in the field of protection and cultural heritage, since they will have to support the Library in document archiving and digitization activities, with particular reference to the Library’s valuable Geographic Fund.

Each volunteer will serve for up to five days a week, for five hours a day, and with an expense reimbursement of 25 euros per day gross (thus making 5 euros per hour). The association will have to document, the notice says, “the possession of experience in the field of protection, enjoyment and enhancement of cultural heritage,” and for its part a special internal commission of the Angelica Library will evaluate the proposals on the basis of specific experience in the management of activities similar to those covered by the notice, the organizational arrangements of the volunteer staff, the training of volunteer staff on the activities covered by the selection, and the plan of costs to be borne by the Library. This will last from September 1 to December 31.



Is this another case of volunteerism being used in an unscrupulous manner? Are we therefore still far from the end of the emergency that Minister Bonisoli said he would solve?
