How many times have I heard ‘amazing experience’, ‘work with amazing collections in amazing places...’ in lieu of a viable salary. Unless you have a private income etc it doesn’t work. It’s a form of exclusion. Sorry.

We were delighted to share the story of our new headquarters with Jane Audas! Jane's wonderful article, which she wrote after interviewing our Chair, James Nye, brings home how much we all love archives - and the stories they can tell 🥰

I found this a striking exhibit in the Jewish museum in Amsterdam, an unused length of fabric printed with yellow stars. Could each one somehow represent someone who escaped? Or were there simply no Jews left for these to get pinned to.
