George Peckham
Coordinator (Annual Programme)
I am the Coordinator for the ITP’s annual programme. I devise the content and schedule for the six-week programme, working with colleagues across the Museum and around the UK to plan and deliver the sessions and workshops for the programme. I also look after additional projects linked to Annual Programme, such as the Senior Fellow role and the ITP Newsletter
I joined the ITP team in 2019 and started as the ITP Assistant. I manage and maintain the ITP’s website, sharing news and updates from the ITP and its network online. I have worked in redeveloping the ITP’s website, integrating new features such as e-learning and video. So far, we have created two e-learning courses from the 2021 and 2022 annual programmes. I built the courses on our website, recorded the e-learning videos and assisted in editing them.
I have a BA in History from Queen Mary, University of London. My passion for history and the museum sector has remained broad, but while at university the focus of my studies centred on societal changes in the United States of America in the immediate decades following the American Civil War. I am currently studying for an MA in Public History and Heritage at Birkbeck, University of London.
Before joining the ITP team, I worked in the Events and Conferencing departments at the British Museum. In my position as a Steward, I assisted with the organising and delivery of events and conferences hosted by the Museum. Before joining the British Museum, I gained some short-term experiences working for a number of online businesses. I held positions in Digital Marketing and Content Writing before finding a place on the ITP team.
