Finally made it to The World of Stonehenge (after missing the opening) & it was the most moving & beautiful show. So so proud of the incredible @JWexlerBM & @NWilkinBM. And so pleased to be back with my object pals inc. my beloved Wylye hoard (which I identified & catalogued)✨

@Mattimer_ Pop in occasionally but still very sad that this platform trashed it. I try too on the other blue platform but it’s harder. ☹️

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@HarveyArchaeo Love!!

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@Durrant_Jenny As in whole collection? Or working on it in parts? I’ve got a KIT day next week so could put you in touch with my new reg colleague helping our staff do this for our new move (some has begun already)…

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@MorganW_B @MuseumsHelen I’d recommend Lick paint for the fact that their paint samples are stickers so you can move them around in the room to test the shadows & light. And enjoy! We’ve only been doing it for a year & a bit and some rooms were easy, others I’m still figuring out…

@HarveyArchaeo Very fortunate to have been sent one yesterday, so am now in. Shame to have to start over but it looks to be what I loved about the old bird site

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@SueGreaney @The_Sherd_Nerd How does one get an invite code? (Aware your list is massive now Sue, but I’d like to join the new site)

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@HarveyArchaeo I’ve been very absent from this place so missed all the new site chat. How do you get an invite code?

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@Museum_Rachel @UKregistrars On maternity leave at the moment but @CrazyMuseumMum is national trust Registrar so covers rural locations and might be able to help

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@CrazyMuseumMum @InbalHarding @missminifer I have the classic and veggie. They are pretty good (and also helpful inspiration if you don’t have all the ingredients too!)

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@Durrant_Jenny @anooshka_rawden @MuseumsAssoc I’m hoping that some of the positives surrounding disposal from NH practice made it through 🤞 (we were fortunate to feed back on the toolkit but think we were seen as a bit too weird 😔)

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

Calling all #collectionsmanagement #documentation #registrar folk. Want to help shape the development of a National Museum's new CMS? My wonderful team is looking for someone to cover my role while I take a year away... #museumjobs https://t.co/STKJ36F6yG

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@PeterReavill @CrazyMuseumMum Yup yup. Time flies 'when you're having fun...'?! 😅🤣

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@CrazyMuseumMum But there is a cost for this for the person who wants to send the documents (free for users, no accounts needed for them)

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@CrazyMuseumMum We use adobesign. All you need is an email address and it directs you via email to right where you need to sign and sends a pdf copy for your records too…

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

Only one week left to apply for this vacancy working with my team... calling all #Collections Managers, #Documentation folk, #Registrars...

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

Museum #Documentation & #Collections folk, fancy joining my rather lovely team @NHM_London? https://t.co/ppkjURuyW3

@BotBronzeage I am so pleased @DEJPett that I saw the index card image first and mentally clocked that it was a @SocAntiquaries SAL object 😊 (yay brain!)

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@DanSmernicki If there is anything I'd be keen to hear. We have a huge split between our acq & registered material (not handling or learning) to enable us to actually do our research under our legal act, but this is I think drawn from practice rather than legal guidance...

[Lucy Ellis @lucyj_e]

@anooshka_rawden @SocAntiquaries Yes I love this clock so much! One of the last things I did was handing it over to the conservators to finally bring it back to life (and buying its display case). Team work all round
