Collections Officer – The National Holocaust Centre and Museum

You will care for, catalogue and support creative uses of our large and growing collection of artefacts, photographs and documents. You will deal with inquiries from the public who wish to donate objects, work with the curatorial and education teams proactively to expand underrepresented topics in our collection and identify opportunities to acquire or borrow suitable items. You will enter acquisition into our cataloguing system on ‘Modes’, including information of provenance, conservation needs, and keywords. You will ensure easy cross referencing with our catalogue of Holocaust survivor testimony collections. With our wider team of experts, curators and educators, you will select and advise on items to be used as handling objects in various programmes, or to be featured digitally on our social media channels or online events. Finally, you will support the Collections Engagement Director in organising public events, and help host visits by partner organisations, donors, and funders to improve their understanding of the importance of our collections.
