I was a intern in the curatorial department as a work experience placement during my Museum Studies Masters degree. I conducted an audit of the London transport poster collection.

I catalogued Soane's architectural drawings of Dulwich Picture Gallery on the museum’s collections database for publication online. I applied data standards, researched the historic context of the drawings and uploaded digital images to enhance the records. This was part of a MLA Designation Development Fund project, ‘Building Sites’.
