HSBC Archives, London: Archives Trainee vacancies (12 months fixed term)
We are pleased to announce two traineeships for 2019-2020.
The successful candidates will join the busy London office, which is part of a global team of archivists working in HSBC. They will be responsible for a wide range of archive duties and provide general administrative support to the team.
Duties will include:
• supervising the search room and retrieving records for researchers
• answering internal and external enquiries about the history and archives of HSBC

• digitising physical records in preparation for a planned public access portal
• carrying out improvements to catalogue data
• re-packaging and other conservation tasks

The successful candidates will be working with our digital archives system. Prior experience in using Preservica and Calm software is welcome, but not essential.
The positions are based primarily at the HSBC Archive Centre in Canning Town, with occasional days spent at head office in Canary Wharf.
The posts will start in September 2019 and last for one year. Candidates should be enthusiastic and able to work with minimal supervision. Adaptability and attention to detail are key qualities.
