What is a curator?

What is a curator?

Every so often I’ll meet someone who asks me what I do; this draws the response “I’m a natural history curator”*. Sometimes I will then be faced with the dreaded follow-up question “what does that mean?”

I hate it when this happens, because the curatorial role involves lots of different things and it can be hard to summarise them in any kind of concise and intelligible way.…

Excellent blog from our Deputy Keeper of Natural History, on what being a Curator means for him.

I have a job!

A real, proper job, with full-time working hours and an annual salary. And it's IN A MUSEUM.

This is now the blog of a museum Digital Assistant. I start Monday.

You know, when an online applications system makes me create an account, then presents me with a form I need to spend ages putting all my details into (we're talking over an hour here - employment history details all in separate boxes etc.) and then ask me to click SAVE at the end, I EXPECT to be able to come back the next evening and just FINISH OFF.

Y U NOT SAVE NETHING. I HATES YOU.

Job Prospects

I have applied for two jobs, two paid internships and one unpaid (but short term - I can't afford not to earn for much longer) internship.

The thought of finishing my MA with no job to go to makes me just a little bit nervous - wish me luck?

Heritage Diaries begins!

Welcome to my new blog about museums, heritage, audience engagement and possibly even my attempts to get a job in one of the above.

I have just taken a step towards that, actually, and sent in an application to the De Morgan Foundation for a very exciting position that sounds like it would be an excellent way to kick off my career. Fingers crossed!
