This will tie in with a British Museum exhibition that will tour the country in 2004-2005. We are thinking about running a number of archaeological finds identification events, where people would be able to bring along their finds, have them identified and record them on the Portable Antiquities Scheme website, as well as having them displayed on the BBC website. We would like to identify those museums with public internet access that may be interested in hosting such an event, or who work closely with another organisation that has internet access. The details are still being worked out, but it is likely that two or three machines, on a broadband connection, would be needed. The event would probably be co-ordinated by a regional Portable Antiquities Finds Liaison Officer and would be accompanied by a marketing campaign. If you think that you may be able to offer these facilities, and may be interested in taking part, then please email [log in to unmask] David Dawson Resource's Senior ICT Adviser -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resource Head of Learning and Access - Ref: HL/47/03 Grade: A - Salary £38,600 - £50,700 per annum (Starting salary is usually at the lowest point of the pay band.)
