The Collection Engagement business unit focuses on the current and future processes supporting engagement with the Museum’s collections, including building capacity to manage, store and preserve digital collection material. The Collection Engagement business unit encompasses the diverse range of activities which make the Museum’s collections discoverable. These include collection documentation, collection imaging and digitisation, supporting and developing the Museum’s Collection Management System (EMu) and Digital Asset Management System (Piction), managing associated IP rights, managing the Library and Archive collections and providing public access to the collection – both online and on-site in the Museum’s collection stores.

This role undertakes a broad range of tasks that contribute to the development of workflows and procedures for acquiring, managing, preserving and providing access to NMA Changeable and Digital collection materials. In conjunction, this role undertakes necessary collection documentation work, such as research related to collection objects, the verification and updating of item records in the CMS (EMu) and minor digital preservation condition activities.
