About Laura
Laura's experience
With more than 25 years of experience in the museum and gallery sector across Australia and the United Kingdom, Laura has built a career dedicated to the care, interpretation, and preservation of cultural collections. She has worked across government organisations and private collections, developing a deep understanding of how objects carry stories — and how those stories can be protected and shared.
Laura’s expertise spans the full spectrum of collection management, including collection development, data management, preventive conservation, preservation risk assessment, curatorial research, and exhibition design. Her work has brought her into contact with an extraordinary range of material culture, from fine art and social history collections to scientific material, Indigenous objects, sporting memorabilia, and moving image.
In 2014, recognising a growing need for flexible, highly specialised curatorial support, Laura established Levoi Consulting. Since then, she has collaborated with more than 20 clients, providing exhibition research and development, project management, and collection database training to institutions of all sizes.
Alongside her curatorial practice, Laura has been researching family histories since 2009. In 2025, she expanded her services to include genealogy research and family history management — a natural extension of her lifelong interest in the stories objects and archives can reveal.

Laura's story
As a child, I was deeply influenced by my grandmother’s habit of preserving family heirlooms. She carefully saved objects that told the story of her family’s life, always attaching handwritten notes explaining who they belonged to, what they were, and when they were used. Without realising it, she was both a dedicated family historian and an intuitive museum collection manager.
After 25 years working in the museum, heritage, and gallery collections sector—and spending just as long researching my own family history—I can see that I haven’t strayed far from the example she set. Alongside my curatorial work, I now offer genealogy research services for clients who feel that same meaningful connection to their family stories.
