Job purpose and requirements
We are looking to appoint a passionate and enthusiastic Project Curator to take the lead on managing, preserving and making accessible our significant digital collection of Holocaust survivor testimony. This includes both digital and digitised collections, AV and time-based media. The postholder will be the professional lead for digital preservation and digital asset management at the museum, responsible for managing the museum’s digital collections, keeping abreast of and implementing best practice standards, and for making the collections accessible to a wide public. This will involve undertaking collections-based research and working with colleagues to provide content for our learning programmes, on-site interpretation, online events and website. You will develop and expand the collection, working with the development director to identify funding opportunities and developing and delivering your own projects to grow the museum’s assets and maximise their use in the service of our mission. The postholder will assist in raising the profile of the museum’s collections nationally and internationally through advocacy, events, networking, and other onsite and online activities.
Main responsibilities
• To manage and document the museum’s digital collections in line with best practice standards.
• To research and analyse the museum’s extensive collection of testimony to determine what content is appropriate for public use, meeting legal, ethical and quality requirements and consulting with audiences to better understand what material people would like to engage with and how.
• To develop a searchable database of digital testimony, ensuring all testimony is saved to one accessible file-type.
• To extend access to and promote learning and engagement with the collections by providing colleagues with collection-based content for a wide range of programming, events and activities.
• To develop and expand the collection. This will include fundraising for collection-based projects and identifying opportunities to collect new oral history testimonies in line with the museum’s current Collection Management Policy.
• To secure and manage the rights in the museum’s digitised and born digital collections.
• To contribute expertise and knowledge to the NHCM’s regular Accreditation returns to ensure the museum continues to reach and exceed the collection management standard required by the Accreditation scheme.
• To research and develop a digital exhibitions programme to expand the museum’s reach and enable more people to access the collections.
• To participate in relevant professional networks, representing the museum nationally and internationally. |
