Digitise History from Anywhere at the Food Museum

Contribute to the Search for the Stars project – an initiative supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and the Headley Trust to create a free, public online catalogue of museum objects. This project enhances access to heritage and strengthens collections management.

Role Overview

Volunteers will:

  • Review and update object records for clarity and accuracy

  • Ensure entries meet GDPR standards

  • Tag items with relevant keywords to improve searchability

  • Highlight ‘star objects’ for further research based on personal insight

Students, aspiring historians, heritage enthusiasts, and those seeking meaningful volunteer experiences are encouraged to apply.
