At the Young V&A, Stratos worked diligently as part of the exhibition team, ensuring that our installations and displays were well managed and delivered on budget. Stratos was a pleasure to work with, because of his collegiality, integrity and pleasant nature.

Sophie Sage

I've worked with Stratos over the last year and have watched him develop a wide variety of essential skills. From project managing a display at the Museum, to taking on the department's day-to-day administration, Stratos has been getting stuck in to all aspects of exhibitions work.

      • May 2017 - Apr 2019

      My main role is the rationalisation and organisation of the museum’s collection of textiles, medical tools, medals, archival and photographic material. Some of my duties involve managing entries for new acquisitions. In addition I am responsible for storage management making sure I identify potential objects for disposal as well as ordering in supplies via PEL. The museum of Military Medicine is planning to relocate to Cardiff in Wales by 2022. Since the summer of 2017 I am working on the preparation of the museum’s collection. That involves the freezing of the textile collection ensuring it is securely packed in acid free boxes and paper as well as recording and updating its location on the MODES software in order for the collection to be ready to move to the new museum in Cardiff. What is more I am implementing a preliminary conservation assessment of the collection and produce condition reports for each individual item of our collection. Apart from my experience on cataloguing and transport preparation I am responsible for the museum’s loans-in and loans-out procedures. What is more, I am managing the online and phone research enquiries and assisting the researchers that they are visiting the museum. Part of my role involves assisting visitors, TV companies and academics with research enquiries, using the archives database and ensuring that I am following the handling and security procedures as some of the archival material that the museum possess are sensitive and of historical importance.
