The Micromuseums Archive opened at Bishopsgate Institute in March 2015 and houses materials relating to small independent museums in the UK. At present, the archive contains leaflets, booklets, and postcards that were collected by Dr Fiona Candlin in the course of her research, and we are actively seeking to develop the holdings. To this end we are looking for an intern who can develop social media profiles for the archive.
The ideal candidate will be able to work seven hours per week over two-three months, have a strong interest in small museums, and feel comfortable using social media. Familiarity with Hootsuite would be desirable but training can be provided if required.
The intern will work under the joint supervision of Fiona Candlin and Elsa Izaguirre (social media manager) and will need to stay in close contact with archivists at Bishopsgate Institute.
The intern will gain
- Experience of working with an archive
- Experience of developing social media strategy
- Knowledge of the museum sector
