Shell Collection Cataloguer

You will have a degree in a related subject with a keen interest in natural history and be able to work accurately with minimal supervision. Experience of data entry or record keeping with good IT skills is key. The aims of the project are:

• To preserve any historical data inherent in the arrangement and labelling of the collection, as received;
• to catalogue and photograph the collection, in order to make it accessible to researchers digitally;
• to conserve the collection by reviewing and improving storage within the shell cabinet.

The Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH) will provide two days of training in many aspects of curating shell and invertebrate collections as well as collections management, classification and identification, and make its collections and reference literature available to access throughout the project.
