Placement Project

This MA Student Internship will give the student an opportunity to work with a recently acquired collection of 20th-century stained glass cartoons (1:1 scale preparatory drawings for windows). It will provide first-hand experience in collections handling, documentation and cataloguing to spectrum 5.1 standards, as well as collections care, packing and storage. Working with the support and advice of our small collections team, opportunities will be made for the student to carry out some research into an aspect of the collection that interests them, and to interpret this to the public by curating a small exhibition.
