At NPL there are a handful of tasks that come up with some frequency. Everyone's first day involved some foam cutting- and that's one of the common tasks that you may be asked to do again. You can find links to the specific projects under the topic headers. Foam cutting is a conservation task, so look for it in the conservation column. There is bound to be some troublemakers- projects that can be thought of as both Computer related and Collections Organization- so please be aware you may need to look carefully, or use the search option.
