The Heritage Curator position is a key post to aid with the goals of

the design, development and realization of exhibits, public programs,
online content, and printed media, coordinating curatorial activities from
conception to production by contributing with research, fostering

special events.
The Heritage Curator also serves as a historian, researcher, and
collections specialist, overseeing the stability and conservation of the
Point Ellice House Collection, both on display and storage facilities, and
ensuring their location and conditions are properly registered and
