"Phone calls" are 1 hour, one-time calls with an organization. Learn the difference between volunteering on a Phone call and a Project here.
Our mission
The Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center is organized exclusively for educational purposes; more specifically, to promote and encourage the study, understanding, preservation and appreciation of the work of Jack Kirby by: illustrating the scope of Kirby's multi-faceted career,
communicating the stories, inspirations and influences of Jack Kirby,
celebrating the life of Jack Kirby and his creations, and building understanding of comicbooks and comicbook creators.
What we do
The Museum will sponsor and otherwise support study, teaching, conferences, discussion groups, exhibitions, displays, publications and cinematic, theatrical or multimedia productions.
The Museum's digital archive is an ongoing project to document and scan the works of Jack Kirby. We travel to comic conventions and collector's homes to scan art in high resolution DNG format art for our collections website and to build a living archive of his work.
Testimonials
Armando is passionate about web development, accessibility and doing it right from the start. He is very knowledgeable in back- and front-end web technologies. And used his experience to provide excellent advice on how to proceed with building the site and how to use Catch a Fire. In addition, he pointed me in the right direction on hosting and other online resources. All in all, a very good consultation call.
What a great conversation. I really enjoyed talking to Tom. He is someone who is passionate about their work and getting it done to the best of their ability. Really has his stuff together, willing to learn and grow as well as putting in the hard work. Felt like I speaking to a friend I really wanted to help, which I something I enjoy about this whole process. I look forward to seeing the development of his dream. I know that Jack Kirby and comics has been a huge influence in my own life, as well as popular culture. Honored to be able to contribute even a few drops of help.
