About this listen

This episode delves even deeper into the idea of “hidden” digital labour, shifting our attention to the gnarly work of museum documentation and collections management. As with other practices of digital labour in the museum, there is a high degree of emotional labour and care involved in this work. We start to build a picture of how some digital activities are potentially reinforcing gender and other identity conventions which have been found in previous iterations of “hidden” museum work.

Voices you’ll hear in this episode include Anne Sharman – Collections Data Officer (National Railway Museum), Dr Tim Boon - Head of Research & Public History (Science Museum Group), Jack Kirby – Associate Director of Collections Services (Science Museum Group), Somaya Langley – Digital Preservation Manager (Science Museum Group), Dr Sophie Vohra - Research Associate (National Railway Museum) and Dr Phillip Roberts - former Associate Curator of Photography (National Science and Media Museum). The voiceover artist in this episode was Rifa Thorpe-Tracey.
