Abigail Hampton Email & Phone Number

Resourceful and motivated museum professional and researcher, passionate about increasing access to collections. I have substantial curatorial experience developed while working with diverse collections in museum, archive and historic building environments. These include the British Museum, the Wellcome Trust, the V&A, the National Trust and Dove Cottage and the Wordsworth Museum.I am an Associate of the Museums Association, and since 2010 I have worked independently. Currently, I'm working on an archive research and collections management project for the charity Help Musicians. Clients include Kew Gardens, Jane Austen's House Museum, Virtu Conservation, the Royal College of Nursing Archives, the Charles Dickens Museum and the Garden Museum. Projects have required excellent communication skills, strong project management including budgeting, and flexibility and enthusiasm. "We commissioned Abigail knowing that she can slot quickly and elegantly into a team. We have worked with her on a sequence of curatorial projects and would certainly do so again."​ Christopher Woodward, Director, Garden Museum
