What Janet needs to know - and local Eastern Region archivists will, I am
sure, be able to give fuller details - is that the Peterborough job has
been advertised at least twice before. I believe that, on both occasions,
interviews were held. It was not a lack of suitable candidates but because
of internal wrangling between the officers of the City and the fact that
the funding was insecure, that the interviews were never followed by an
appointment.
As Janet knows, the archive profession is small and maybe word of mouth is
ahead of her. Perhaps people do not realise that this is not just another
red herring.
