On 1st June, the Gloucestershire Heritage Hub will be holding their second Heritage Focus Day with keynote speaker, Mark Horton, television archaeologist in attendance alongside representatives from Gloucestershire Archives; Gloucestershire Libraries; Gloucester City Museum; Stroud Museum in the Park; Gloucester Cathedral Archives and Education Centre; Cheltenham College Archives; The John Moore Countryside Museum; Cotswold Archaeology; freelance experts; Cultural Heritage Institute, Royal Agricultural University; heritage volunteers for Gloucestershire Family History Society, Gloucestershire Constabulary, Jet Age Museum, the Canal and River Trust and others; and members of the Archives and Records Association.
This event, which runs from 10am-4pm, is aimed at people wanting a career in heritage as well as those interested in a less formal arrangement, for example, volunteering. It is an excellent opportunity to see what archivists, conservators, museum curators, librarians, archaeologists and other heritage-based professionals do on a day-to-day basis. Attendees can chat with us, learn about training paths and there will also be ‘have a go’ opportunities, demonstrations, films, a document display of ‘treasured archives’ and a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of Gloucestershire Archives.
