Intern Blog - Emma Gilliland at Timespan

My name is Emma and I am the Curatorial Intern at Timespan. I studied history at university and want to work in the heritage sector. I have previously had work experience at Culzean Castle, Dumfries House, Ayrshire Archives, Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and Rozelle House Galleries, but my internship at Timespan is the first graduate level job I have had. I am helping to put together a new exhibition on the Kildonan Clearances and I am responsible for the reinterpretation of the museum information panels.
