SUMMARY:'The Nice Parts of Technical Curatorship' by Dr Jim Andrew
DESCRIPTION:Joining us IN PERSON – just turn up\, there’s no need to register.\nJoining us ON LINE – click on this zoom link before the event to join in. \nThis is a joint meeting with Thinktank: Birmingham Science Museum \nMost of a senor curator’s time is spent on typical management activities as in any other job\, but from time to time the curator can do some research or hand on aspects of exhibits’ history or use.  \nThis talk will look at a few of these sagas and even blocking attempts to “poach” the exhibits for display elsewhere\, or dare one say it\, to sell! \nAbout the Speaker\nDr Jim Andrew was Honorary Secretary of the Midlands Branch of the Newcomen Society\, and is currently Chairman. \nAfter starting his working life in environmental protection for local government\, he joined the Birmingham Museum Service at the Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry\, where he remained\, as curator responsible for the Science Museum’s technical collection.  \nAlthough now retired\, Dr Jim Andrew remains as a volunteer technical adviser at the Thinktank Museum.
