Judges Comments: I know many of my colleagues make extensive use of Global Museum resources, in particular its Jobs
posting service is widely used by both those seeking work and agencies seeking contractors and staff. Despite its very
general content focus, there are some very rich areas like the Conservation section in the Ideas area. Here can be found
a diverse and very useful grouping of online documents covering a wide range of Conservation practises.
