The Sydney Jewish Museum is looking for a full time Registrar to join its Curatorial Department. This person will be responsible for managing the Museum’s new acquisitions, ensuring proper ongoing care of collections, and undertaking digitisation of the collection.
About the Sydney Jewish Museum:
The Sydney Jewish Museum is an institution that collects and preserves historic objects, commemorates and educates. The Museum collects and conserves original memorabilia related to the Holocaust, Judaica and Australian Jewish history to make these available for display and research for generations to come. Our collection drives our exhibitions, research and education programs.
The Museum’s permanent exhibitions trace the history of Judaism, the persecution of Jewish people, their migration to Australia and service in the military, and have more recently expanded to cover human rights issues affecting Australia. Using artefacts, interactive technologies and testimonies, history is given a voice within the Museum’s walls.
