The United States Association
of Museum Volunteers (USAMV) was incorporated in 1979 under the
Not-for-Profit Corporation laws of Washington, D.C. The USAMV became
an affiliated committee of
the American Association of Museums in
1981.
In 1986, the USAMV changed its name to
American Association for Museum Volunteers (AAMV).
The American Association for Museum Volunteers (AAMV) is the only
national association representing
the over 1,000,000 volunteers in all categories of museums
and cultural institutions.
AAMV is affiliated nationally with the
American Association of Museums (AAM) and internationally with
the
World Federation of Friends of Museums (WFFM).
