Welcome Claudia Donovan, the newest member of the RHSV team! She will be joining us mid-May to start her new role as images collection officer. We have a huge amount of material catalogue and preserve, so we welcome the extra hands to help us with it.
Claudia holds a Master of Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies with a specialisation in Curatorship and Collections, alongside a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History, Sociology, and Anthropology. With a strong academic foundation in historical research and preservation, she is deeply committed to the stewardship of Australian history and heritage. Claudia has developed skills in object digitisation, cataloguing, exhibition curation, and narrative development through hands-on roles in both a local government and university context. Her experience includes working with diverse collections to uncover and share the stories behind artefacts and artworks, often in close collaboration with volunteers and community members. Claudia is particularly passionate about connecting communities with their histories and ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of historical collections.
If you’re someone who spends time at the RHSV HQ on A’Beckett St, you’re bound to run into Claudia. Please introduce yourself and make her feel welcome.
