Summers at Point Ellice House

In 2018, I was part of a team that curated and installed the temporary exhibition “Summers at Point Ellice House” for the BC provincial heritage site, Point Ellice House, a 19th century house museum. I was responsible for selecting relevant artifacts from the collection, researching the history of the gardens, selecting appropriate quotes from the family diaries, and writing the extended labels.

Museum London – This is How We Roll (Window Exhibit)

As part of HISTORY HI9807B – Introduction to Museology, I worked in a team of four to prepare an exhibit brief, text panels and installation manual for a proposed exhibit in one of their window display cases.

Vision Soho Alliance/City of London, Ontario

In partnership with the Vision Soho Alliance, a low income housing conglomerate and the City of London, this year’s public history MA students are finishing a three year project by creating outdoor exhibit signs relating to the history of the SoHo neighbourhood.

I was responsible for project management for my team, on the history of the Indigenous and Black communities. In addition, I was responsible for the text and photo selection of the Black history sign. The goal of which was to summarize the history of the Black SoHo community while creating a sense of community for the new residents.

My content will go to a professional designer and signs are slated for installation in 2025.
