Exhibition Researcher for DCC

Exhibition Researcher for DCC

Application deadline: 21 April, 5pm

Dublin City Council are seeking to appoint an Exhibition Researcher for a temporary Archival Project – 16 Week Service Contract – with Dublin City Archives.

The archives of Jacob’s Fruitfield Ltd were received on permanent loan by Dublin City Archives in 2012. Jacob’s Biscuit Factory was founded in 1851 in Waterford, and shortly afterwards moved to Peter’s Row in Dublin, and later to premises in Bishop Street and finally to Tallaght. The company firmly established itself as a recognisable brand, which is still part of the fabric of Irish Society and which has had a noted impact on the social and economic life of Dublin over the past century. The archives of Jacob’s Fruitfield Ltd constitute an important collection relating to the history of Dublin and include materials relating to the 1913 Lockout, to the First World War and to the 1916 Rising, and War of Independence.

In 2012-13 Dublin City Council undertook a nine-month project to carry out partial initial box listing and preservation management work on the collection. In 2015, a further 30 week service contract was issued to complete cataloguing work, and a MS Access database with file level listing was created, and collection opened to public access. A 6 Panel travelling exhibition ‘W& R Jacobs Biscuit Factory and the 1916 Rising’ was developed in 2016.

As part of its Decade of Commemoration programme Dublin City Council now proposes to issue a 16 week contract for an exhibition researcher to assist the senior archivist and the exhibition designer in the development and delivery of a major exhibition focusing on Jacobs Biscuit Factory and its impact on twentieth century Dublin. Exhibition working title is “ Jacob’s Biscuits: from Revolution to Globalisation”.

Dublin City Council is now seeking quotations for this work from professionally-qualified selfemployed archivists, librarians or cultural heritage managers OR from companies which provide exhibition management services through professionally-qualified individuals. (The word candidate as used in this tender document refers equally to self-employed individuals and to companies).

Duration of the Exhibition Curation Research Project will be 16 weeks, based on a standard 35-hour working week [excluding lunch-breaks and tea-breaks.] Commencement dates for the project will be by arrangement between Dublin City Archives and the successful candidate. Hours of attendance can also be agreed between Dublin City Archives and the successful candidate. The contract must be completed before 25 August 2017.

The estimated value of this contract is Euro 12,000 exclusive of VAT. This is equivalent to Euro 39,000 per annum, pro rata.

  • Como Gelar A Cervveja Rápido

    Prestem atenção nessa informação, pois eu testei ela num
    churrasco esse termo de semana, e também fiqueii bastante alegre! Aliás, um reconhecimento especial ao Guiga
    ( @filhodopadeiro ) do Tudo Sobre Facebook , que me passou esse conhecimento milenar!

    A medida de cada um desses ingredientes dependerá
    da quantidade de cerveja que se pretende gelar.
    Mass via de regra, seria umm sawco de gelo, um l de água, um litro de álcool e
    também meio quil dee sal. Depois de colocar todls e caqda um dos ingredientes num recipiente,
    bastra acomodar as latas/garrafas de cerveja e aguardar por volta de 3 minutos.
    Você poderá proporcionalizar essas medidas conforme a quantidade de
    cerveja que pretende gelar.

    sal se dissolve facilmente na chuva e também reduz seuu mancha de
    refrigeração. Pura, a água congela sobre 0 ºC.
    Já a chuva com sal precisa de uma temperatura menor,
    que é possível que chegar a dezenas de graus menos zero. Quando
    sall é colocado no gelo, secção dos cubos derretem, roubando” ccalor durante a troca de estado físico e esfriando a mistura
    como uum todo. Aliás, sal dissolvidro prolvoca uma reação endotérmica, quer
    dizer, reduz mais a temperatura dda mistura.
    álcool possui um papel semelhante: derrete gelo roubando” calor e também
    diminui ainda mas mancga de refrigeração. É empregado porque quando a temperatura ficar menls
    -9 ºC, sal perde umm ppuco do efeito, porém
    álcoolnão.

    De olho no relógio: alumínio é bom condutor de calor,
    e também 3 minutos são suficientes porque as latinhas mergulhadas encontrem estabilidade térmico.
    Como a temperatura fica aquém zero, depois alguns minutos, a grito vai estar tão gelada que não vai entregar para sentir sabor e também
    periga gelar. Deixe papel toalha haurikr bem a chuva, e
    em seguida, ligeiro as cervejas paqra congelador.
    A chuva no papel vai gelificar rápida, forrmando uma camada de gelo
    que esfria a bebida.

    Pista: tomem zelo, popis dependendo doo freezaer a cerveja é possível
    que gelar numa rapidez absurda, deixando sua cerveja congelada, que não é
    legal. Mini Refrigerados USB Mass um gadget alcoólico para você não
    perder a maré de tomar uma cervejinha geladésima no recreio
    do seu trabalho. Há nem tinha visto… a do nitrogênio é
    a melhor (moleza de achar) hahahahahha excelente.
    adicionei aos favoritos…. E também que pergunta acolá em cima do Leandro.
    Não funciona coom outras bebidas não, só cerveja que
    gela, as outras se colocar esquenta! http://cervejeiromestre.com.br/chopp/
