The Textile Research Centre, Boerhaavelaan 6, Leiden.The TRC has recently moved to new premises, an early 20th century urban villa just behind the Leiden railway station. There is a lot of work to be done and we are looking for several new volunteers!
In particular we need:
- An experienced librarian who can take over the running and development of the TRC textile and dress library (currently standing at 7000 registered books), as well as help build up an image library that will include prints, photographs, postcards, charts and patterns. One to two days per week.
- A general assistant to help on a regular basis with the TRC Collection of textiles, clothing and accessories from around the world. Experience in object photography would be an advantage.
- A volunteer is also needed to help catalogue the TRC's extensive and growing collection of hand (bobbin, needle, crochet, knitted, etc.) and machine-made lace. These items take the form of individual samples, as well as items (caps, lappets, gloves, garments, etc) made from or decorated with lace.
