Internship shoutout for S2

The Curatorial & Exhibitions team at Sydney Living Museums is currently developing The Unusual Suspects, an exciting exhibition with a planned national and international tour.
The exhibition will be based on the collection of photographs of suspects taken by NSW police between 1919 and 1930 (the NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive [FPA]). Candid, self-posed and full of personality, the photographs in this collection are highly sought after by external researchers.

Two internship projects are being offered this semester which involve contributing to the development of The Unusual Suspects exhibition:

The Unusual Suspects – Touring Exhibition Research

This internship involves researching international photographic archives with the aim of contextualising the NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive which will be the basis of the exhibition. The intern will undertake research across a variety of platforms to locate criminal photography archives from the 1919-1930 period held in overseas collections. The intern will contribute to the research stage of the exhibition development, building on existing research skills to identify images that relate to content for the tour. Working under guidance from an experienced Project Manager and Curator, the intern will participate in project meetings and will gain an understanding of project timelines and how an exhibition is developed.

The Unusual Suspects – Crime Exhibition Development

This project provides the opportunity for an intern to work closely with the NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive held at the Justice & Police Museum. Working under guidance from an experienced Curator, the intern will undertake research across a variety of platforms to establish individual criminal histories of key returned servicemen/ANZACs, pulling together & summarising information that will help inform exhibition content. Applying existing research and writing skills, the intern will develop and manage research files and write descriptive database entries, as well as participate in project meetings.
