Presentation was shared at Heritage Show + Tell, Leeds http://heritageshowtell.wordpress.com/

1. What am I working on?
Aim: to build the Museum into the fabric
of the University
Through:
• Collections access and care – multisite,
many collections
• Education – student, staff, schools,
adults
• Research – undergraduates,
postgraduates staff
• Training – museum skills
• Projects – exhibitions, events (Bragg,
Light Night)

2. Why is it exciting?
• New initiative so can be
shaped – build from the
ground up
• Involves the very
people that inhabit the
University and City
• Values and celebrates
the University’s and
City’s scientific heritage

3. What am I looking for?
• Local network to share ideas, expertise and
develop projects. For example:
– specialist curatorial knowledge around
natural history collections, wet
specimens, medical instruments etc
– City wide events e.g. WW1
• Space – for exhibitions – travelling?
• Money!
