Learning how to store and preserve historical artefacts and how to identify threats to their longevity is an acquired skill. So Gloucester District Historical Society’s volunteer Reynolds-Barff has been given the opportunity to participate in a Volunteer Placement Program through Museums and Galleries NSW. As one of eight recipients across the state she will learn how to identify and manage threats to the Gloucester District Historical Museum collection and develop her skills in conserving history through a placement in a larger cultural institution for up to 10 days.

“I congratulate Ms. Reynolds-Barff on her selection as this program will enable Ms Reynolds-Barff to learn new skills to share with our local museums and galleries,” member for Upper Hunter Michael Johnsen said.
“This program gives volunteers an opportunity to improve their skills at large or specialised cultural institutions in areas such as managing collections, basic conservation techniques and learning how to deliver cultural events.”
The funding is part of the NSW Government’s Create in NSW framework which guides strategy, investment and partnerships for the arts and cultural sector and for the people of NSW.
