Curator
Almond Valley Heritage Centre
Almond Valley Heritage Trust is a charity with a mission to promote, celebrate and preserve the heritage and environment of West Lothian for future generations. The Trust operates the Almond Valley Heritage Centre; a family-friendly visitor destination based in the historic surroundings of Livingston Mill, which features a farm and a range of imaginative play facilities. It is also home to the museum of the Scottish Shale Oil Industry. Our museum collection is recognised as being of national importance to Scotland. It illustrates the fascinating history of Scotland’s shale oil industry, tells stories of the communities that served it, and reveals the impact of this pioneering enterprise on oil trade throughout the world. Almond Valley welcomes family visitors from throughout Scotland, offering brilliant opportunities to engage a broad popular audience in tales of our industrial heritage and social history, whilst also exploring forward facing perspectives on climate change. We’re constantly imagining new ways of engaging children and families in experiences that spark interest, stimulate the imagination, promote understanding and inspire the next generation The resources of the museum collection and our extensive archives are also shared online through our virtual museum presence (www.scottishshale.co.uk), providing a rich resource for researchers and family historians, and serving a specialist community of interest who may never be able to visit Almond Valley in person. This is an exciting period for the Trust, as we look forward to broadening and deepening engagement in heritage and conservation through an expanding programme of events/exhibitions and learning. Role of the Curator The Curator’s principal concern is for the collection. They will ensure that proper practices and standards are maintained in the care and development of the collection that meet or exceed the requirements of Museum Accreditation, and the additional responsibilities placed on an institution that holds a Recognised collection. They will develop subject-specialist knowledge related to the collection and the heritage that it represents, and promote wider research and scholarship. The Curator will lead and support a team of museum volunteers involved in digitisation, transcription, historical research, and other digital content creation to serve the museum’s virtual presence and social media engagement. In the future, volunteer participation might be extended to support a broader range of museum functions including public-facing duties. Working closely with the Learning & Engagement Manager, they will lead on interpretation and storytelling throughout the Museum. They will also advise on the design, planning and implementation of events and wider engagement activities, including our educational programme, ensuring that heritage themes are woven into the wider visitor experience.
