Job Description & How to Apply Below

The main purpose of the role will be to deliver the aims of the Collection Development Strategy in the context of the National Wool Museum and support the delivery of the strategic vision for the site.

Cultural democracy is at the heart of developing the collection. You will work collaboratively with communities as co-curators, collectors and decision makers. You will build on existing ways of collecting and develop new methodologies that ensure that we actively engage individuals and communities across Wales in deciding what and how we should collect the history of the woollen industry in Wales.

Key areas identified as priorities for collection development at this site include:

  • Researching and collecting the history and material culture of traditional woollen industry skills in Wales.
  • Collecting the intangible cultural heritage demonstrated by our contemporary craftspeople on site.
  • Researching and collecting the material culture of the sustainable story of wool in Wales - capturing its properties, emerging research and innovation in the industry while also supporting our work in maximizing the potential of the natural landscape in which we are located.
  • Delivering Amgueddfa Cymru’s Charter for Decolonising the Collection by working with a range of relevant communities to research and develop deeper meanings relating to some aspects of the history of the woolen industry so that the histories they present are more balanced, authentic, and decolonised.
  • The role will increase the visibility of and access to the national woven textile collection held at the museum, ensuring that it is fully catalogued and digitised as a resource to support the practice of contemporary designers and makers, our emerging brand licensing programme, and a range of other users.
