Freelance opportunity: Buxton Museum and Art Gallery


Buxton Museum and Art Gallery is looking for help to identify ethnographic material and for advice on potential restitutions.  These objects were purchased between 1940 and 1988,  and were subsequently part of the Derbyshire Schools Library Service collections.

They are looking for people who can help identify objects from:
·       South Pacific (around 85 objects)
·       Africa (around 119 objects)
·       North America (around 33 objects)
·       Australia (around 26 objects)

The objects are located in Buxton, Derbyshire. You will need to travel to view the objects in person.
With the support of the Esmee Fairburn Collections Trust funding, they are able to offer a fee of £250 a day plus reasonable travel expenses.

The work needs to be carried out between October and December.

If you are able to help, please send a description of no more than 500 words detailing your relevant experience to Anna Rhodes anna.rhodes@derbyshire.gov.uk by 5pm on Friday 20th September.
