The Hurd Library

Nurturing Worcestershire’s Treasures is the name of the HLF funded Skills for the Future Programme that my Graduate Traineeship is a part of. We are five graduate trainees working across six different heritage sites in the Worcester area, and this traineeship aims to give us practical work experience in the heritage sector.

In Issue 2 there is a short article on the Archives Hub projects that I have been working on for both The Hurd Library and the University of Worcester Research Collections. The newsletter’s lead article includes some of the highlights from the traineeship so far.

You can also find out more about the work of the other four trainees who are also involved with the Skills for the Future programme in Worcester. The other trainees are based at Worcester Cathedral Library, George Marshall Medical Museum, Worcester Porcelain Museum and the Elgar Birthplace Museum.

I hope you enjoy learning more about the work I’m doing as well as the interesting work of my Skills for the Future colleagues.
