Meet the Museum Curator

Helen Cook has been the Hokitika Museum curator for the last 8 years, and during that time she has been largely responsible for the management and preservation of the collection. In this video Helen takes us through the key elements of her curator’s role; managing donations, cataloguing, packaging, collection care, photography, collection audits, and deaccessioning. It’s a huge role, and with the sheer quantity of material held in the Museum Collection stores, it’s an extremely important role.
