Jim McCann Consulting
Profile
I have 38 years experience in the museum, gallery and cultural heritage sector in Australia and the United Kingdom, mainly in local or state government.
As a Board member, and now Secretary of the Executive Board of AMaGA Victoria, and the Board’s representative on the Museums Accreditation Program Committee, I am involved intimately in the museum, gallery and cultural sector in Victoria and am well aware of the challenges that are faced by organisations across Australia.
I have been involved in many major projects including Albury’s Library/Museum, large scale development in Scotland and the initial stages of the relocation of all of Victoria Police’s historical operations to a new headquarters building.
Specialising on operational issues, both major and minor, and all aspects of collections management, I am able to provide advice and assistance across the board for both small and large organisations and offer solutions that are tailored to individual organisations needs.
