Reflecting on a Remote Summer: Collections Assistant for the Belkin Art Gallery

For a summer 2020 UBC Arts Co-op, I worked as the Collections Assistant for the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia. In my position I assisted the Registrar, Teresa Sudeyko, and Archivist, Anna Tidlund, with projects that aim to increase and manage access to the Belkin’s collections of 5,000+ objects and 30,000+ archival documents. Due to COVID-19, I worked remotely from Ontario. My positive experience led to a contract extension until the end of 2020.
