Farewell from LUMEN Placement Jason Marceniuk!
Hi my name is Jason Marceniuk. I had the pleasure of working with Collections Trust during my 8 week placement as part of my MA in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester. I enjoyed my time there at thoroughly recommend it for future students considering a placement. My work was with the launch of the 3rd generation of the Collections Link. (www.collectionslink.org.uk).
If you haven’t already done so I encourage you to check it out and create an account. I was responsible for making the user guides and help videos on the site. I hope you find them useful. The site is a place to find and share expertise related to collections management. It is also a great place for social and professional networking within the sector.
My other task was getting things started on the Collections Link Content Partnership. This is an exciting new initiative in which the Collections Trust is actively seeking out organisations to take on a leadership role on the site. These organisations will be sharing their expertise to help others unlock the potential of their collections. I had the pleasure of meeting with the British Museum and National Museums of Scotland to discuss their involvement with the partnership. Look for their content and expertise on the site soon.
Once again I encourage you to checking out the site not just for the access to incredible Collections Management resources but also for networking and collaboration.
Thank you,
Jason Marceniuk
