The Archives Section (cataloguing and archives management areas) of the
National Monuments Record, English Heritage, Swindon is composed of 14 males
and 8 females. The head of Section is male. Cataloguing comprises eight
females and five males. Archive Management or Curation has 8 male staff.
Although no real statistical significance attaches to these figures, it is
fair to say that females have always been better represented in Cataloguing.
Gender composition within NMR Archives may relate more to the specialist
nature of our business - sites and buildings represented in or by archive -
and the multitude of academic disciplines (heritage-based) posts attract
rather than purely archive issues.
Hope this is useful
