Danielle Little – Curatorial Apprentice at Harrogate Museums

Danielle Little joined Harrogate Museums in September 2023 and has since been managing the Walker Neesam Archive (WNA). Bequeathed to Harrogate Museums on Malcolm Neesam’s passing in 2022, the WNA contains decades worth of Malcolm’s collecting and research, all of which Danielle is organising and cataloguing so that it can be available for public use.

This talk will explore the way the WNA is being managed, how the WNA will be made publicly accessible, and take a look at some of the more interesting items that have been uncovered so far.

Danielle has a BA in History of Art and Heritage Management, an MA in Classical Archaeology, and is currently undertaking an MA in Curating at Teesside University.
