The HSBC Money Gallery traces the history and development of money around the world, from the ancient world to the present day. Jennifer is responsible for the delivery of educational programmes based in the HSBC Money Gallery and the Department of Coins and Medals. These aim to encourage a more diverse range of audiences to engage with the collections and displays of the department, and include the popular Hands On Behind the Scenes sessions for school groups.

As part of this Jennifer also curates the handling collection, a specially designated part of the Department’s holdings which enables visitors to engage with the collection on a direct, tactile basis.
