The post holder will help to shape the direction of the objects we collect, focusing on material that is more representative of diversity within the Wakefield district and reflects local life as it is today - a broader snap shot of 'now'.

This engagement will lead to new acquisitions and loans, and will influence future displays and exhibitions.
