Fixed Term Project until 31st March 2001
Shrewsbury Museums Service, in partnership with The Wedgwood Museum and
Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust, is developing a multi-disciplinary
educational website as part of the DCMS/MGC IT Challenge Fund initiative.
The title of the project is 'Cradle of Science, Technology and the Better
Life!'
An interesting opportunity has arisen to assist the research, creation and
development of material for this database-driven website. The site will
examine natural science, technology, social history, fine/decorative arts
and other topics in the 18th and 19th centuries illustrated with objects
from the museums and elsewhere.
We are looking for an enthusiastic IT literate person with a relevant degree
(or equivalent), at least one year's experience working in museums and a
working knowledge of at least one relevant subject area. With good
communication and team working skills, you will be confident in handling
museum objects, the use of Microsoft Office software (particularly MS Access
and MS Word) and principles of website design.
