These are unpaid roles based at the V&A stores at Blythe House, Olympia, which houses some of the Asian department’s reserve collections. This includes sculpture and smaller carvings in stone, metal, wood, ivory, jade and other hardstones, metalwork, including jewellery and arms and armour, dress and accessories, textiles and carpets, ceramics and glass, and furniture and lacquer. 

We are currently engaged in an exciting project to prepare to move these objects to a new collections centre. The preparation work we are doing is hands-on and involves auditing, photography and database work. We are looking to build a small team of volunteers to help us with this work. This team will enable us to improve our records and organise the objects for the move from Blythe House.

Closing date for applications is midnight on Thursday 2nd August 2018.
