Like most people, I knew of and had visited most of the big London museums and galleries, but the Courtauld had always had an air of mystery, needless to say, I\u2019d been to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somersethouse.org.uk\/\">Somerset House<\/a> but had never actually gone inside. Therefore when I saw the chance to not only feed my curiosity but also my love of Architecture and the Arts, as well as doing something that sounded extremely interesting and worthwhile, I immediately applied to volunteer. I love coming to such an amazing building, I\u2019m still overly curious about my surrounding (Somerset House is vast), the many boxes of photos, and taking part in saving minute pieces of history that all add up to one amazing collection, rather like putting together an image pixel by pixel until you get the whole picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">John: <\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To support the Courtauld, as the Gallery has been part of my imagination all my adult life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What I enjoy most about volunteering\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heidi: <\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I start each shift knowing what I\u2019m going to be doing, usually it\u2019s Metadata, my favourite, but also knowing that there\u2019s going to be surprises, mysteries I have to solve, handwriting for instance. But that\u2019s what I enjoy, the repetitiveness of interesting information (I\u2019m a born organizer), when suddenly you\u2019re confronted by a challenge and it needs to be solved then and there. Every shift I learn something new, whether it\u2019s through the photos themselves or the information that accompanies them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>John:<\/em> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finding beautiful or unusual detail in the photographs of the Conway &#8211; such as this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/?s=John+ramsey\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sculpture in Canterbury Cathedral<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_786\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-786\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/05\/CON_B00089_F002_026-with-John-drawing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-786\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/05\/CON_B00089_F002_026-with-John-drawing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/05\/CON_B00089_F002_026-with-John-drawing.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/05\/CON_B00089_F002_026-with-John-drawing-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/05\/CON_B00089_F002_026-with-John-drawing-830x1024.jpg 830w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/05\/CON_B00089_F002_026-with-John-drawing-768x947.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CON_B00089_F002_026 with John&#8217;s drawing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>A favourite photo or moment?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Heidi:<\/em> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The photographs that have made me stop and stare were the boxes of the Plans of the Vatican and Vatican City, several boxes containing masses of plans. I hadn\u2019t realized the Vatican was so vast, the amount of rooms, the tunnels. I immediately wanted to go there and start exploring because you know for sure that there are going to be hidden rooms, hidden passageways not on any public records.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>John:<\/em> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are so many!

I was always going to exhibitions, galleries etc but what I have been doing is going for 2-4 hour walks (&#8230;all my home baking!) There is not a better way to explore London and I have yet to get lost (touch wood), and before Lockdown I spent every other long weekend in Essex where my family are, I miss the sea and the countryside too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>John:<\/em> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I do a lot of drawing, and images from the Conway Library have inspired me. I am also a keen reader of history and like to relate events to what was happening in the arts at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What would you say to someone who wasn\u2019t sure whether volunteering is for them?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Heidi:<\/em> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I first started volunteering I was unsure what to expect, I decided to try everything 2-3 times then decide if I wanted to alternate or choose one task. I was drawn to Metadata as working on my own suits me but there\u2019s always help and plenty of advice when I need it, which is often! Metadata can be like a puzzle and I\u2019m a &#8220;puzzle foodie&#8221;. But by volunteering for the project you get the opportunity to do several jobs, from camera work to research, from group work to individual work but with the knowledge that you will always have a wealth of knowledge and help if you need it from an extremely experienced merry band of overseers. Whether you\u2019re a chatterbox or a bit shy, whether you have an interest in architecture, the arts, or just want to learn something new, I can think of no better way of doing so than in a prestigious environment with a group of like-minded people, not forgetting an awesome common room with ever plenty biscuits, &amp; coffee ;-).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have been asked to provide a photo if possible, I have been on numerous outings with the Courtauld, amazing places, and when it comes time for the photoshoot I\u2019m the one ducking down at the back\u00a0 o_O\u00a0 \u2026. So the one at the top of this post is one of me in the Courtauld lift, if you see me come and say hi!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>John:<\/em> Just try it for a few weeks. You have nothing to lose, you can stop if you wish. Everyone is so friendly and supportive, and they would never hassle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Digital Media team are so friendly and positive, always upbeat, informed and interesting, so it is always a pleasure to be in their company, even if only online. They also set a tone for the volunteers, who tend to fall in with this attitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Volunteering during lockdown<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>John:<\/em> During COVID lockdown I\u2019ve found it is helpful to set a routine of tasks drawn each day from a wide variety of possible activities.
