Apologies for cross posting.
Archivist - 2 year fixed term contract
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists & Royal College of
Midwives
The archives held by the RCM and RCOG reflect the unique nature of our two
widely respected professional organisations. Spanning well over a hundred
years, the collections contain material ranging from one of Florence
Nightingale’s letters to early medical photography. To bring these archives
to the highest standards, the RCM and RCOG are now working jointly,
continuing our proud record of collaboration.
You will lead on this work, shaping the policies, procedures and guidelines
that will underpin the development of the archives. Ultimately, the goal is
to make the collections as accessible as possible. However, this will be a
step-by-step process. You will focus on a series of specific objectives
including training for our staff, providing key documents to the AIM 25
project and developing a records management system at the RCOG.
A qualified archivist with at least two years’ experience in archives
management, you will bring us a good understanding of electronic management
systems and professional standards such as ISAD (G), EAD and the UNESCO
thesaurus. Having supervised staff effectively before, you will be happy to
oversee the work of an assistant at the RCOG. You will also be keen to
apply your own ideas on user-led services.
