I more or less refused to let them see my work by that stage, so I don't think they'd have dared offer help.
I'm now recruiting for a crucial post in my team - Curator: Parliamentary Art Collection. A rare chance to work with a wonderful collection in a unique setting.
Please do share, and feel free to get in touch with any questions
At a younger colleague's wake, there was a slideshow of images of him, which I found a really nice touch that helped us all remember him. We also gave his parents digital photos of him at work.
I'd be led by family and how they would like to use material. They don't have to decide immediately. 2/2
One advantage of digital is there doesn't have to be a single output now. I'd suggest first priority is gathering material - potentially including a callout to friends who may have original files as opposed to compressed versions on social media. 1/2

We don't publish some images, and aim to contextualise metadata through description e.g. that using offensive historical terminology. The nature of medical collections means that they inevitably contain some sensitive material. Our site remains open for all.

That's painful. Although better than being stuck somewhere.

Possible in theory but lots of constraints in practice: archaeology (remains of Montagu House), major underground service routes, emergency services routes etc. Also would need major alterations to the Great Court to handle the transition in level. And would still need a pavilion at Montague Place.

Not the first time that Barnsley has been the subject of improbable proposals. Yet Will Alsop's 'Tuscan' vision is credited with catalysing some regeneration. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... (Model on display in Experience Barnsley museum)

This is an exceptional week. However the trains have worked, which is not a given at any time and especially not in January.
If it's any consolation, I haven't been home since I saw you. Although will be soonish.
Though I'd suggest to you that an AI version of Clippy is to be avoided at all costs.
