Heritage Collections (Museums and Archive)
You've got archives or heritage collections, but aren't able to make the most of them yet. You want to share their rich history and preserve them for the future.
I've worked with archives from chemistry to choirs, artists to young people's services. From a single box to many rooms of material. Community archives to National Museums.
Whether it's cataloguing or digitising, all the way through to promoting to the public, I'll help you use collections to add value for your organisation and audiences.
I can help with:
- Collections assessments and planning
- Digitisation strategy and planning
- Digital preservation
- Audience development
- Interpretation
- Outreach and engagement
- Statements of significance

You can book 1:1 sessions on project development, mentoring or coaching with me. The first session is free!
"Working with you has been a joy - despite being daunted by what lay ahead. I've learnt a great deal as you have taken us on our first ride on the road to strategy."
