Our Museums Association puts out a very useful booklet on working in
museums. It's free (but I'm sure they would appreciate the IRC):
42 Clerkenwell Close
LONDON
EC1R 0PA
Tel: +44 171 608 2933
Fax: +44 171 250 1929
Other info which may be of use to people seeking work in the UK:
UK salaries are below US ones, and UK prices are above US ones, so
unless you've a really good reason (such as being interested in British
material culture/archaeology/art) a move here may not be attractive.
Museum posts are few and far between (tell us a part of the world where
they aren't!).
We have few internship programmes. We have a very few 'trainee' or
'apprentice' posts. On the other hand, volunteers are often welcome,
and a direct approach to an intitution, with a clear idea of what you
can offer, and what you hope to gain from a period of volunteering, you
may be welcomed with open arms. Anyone interested in a major backlog of
ephemera documentation?
