I've been working and volunteering at Brighton Toy and Model Museum, and was Project Officer on the Frank Hornby 150 project.

Currently, most of my time is being spent producing content for the museum's (closed-editing-access) MediaWiki installation, The Brighton Toy and Model Index ( ISSN 2399-1798 , http://www.brightontoymuseum.co.uk/index/ ), so ... long hours spent scanning and cleaning up old 1920s/1930s material, embedding metadata and cross-linking.

GLAM

Wikipedia used to have an explicit exemption for the cultural heritage sector from employee conflict-of-interest rules ( WP:GLAM ?) allowing and encouraging employees and volunteers at Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums to edit their own organisations' pages, provided that their edits conformed to the other WP guidelines. The GLAM outreach initiative now seems to have morphed into a larger project, I can't find the direct successor to the WP:GLAM rule (it now redirects), but I'm assuming that it still applies.

There's another rule, WP:CURATOR, that allows GLAM people to add links to their organisation's resources on topic pages, sparingly, when the resources are sufficiently significant and relevant to justify it. I have/will be adding the very occasional link under this rule ... for instance, once the Museum's Märklin-related online content reaches reach around 1200 images, I'll probably add a link to the material to Wikipedia's Märklin page (assuming that nobody beats me to it!).
