The Rothschild Archive: Assistant Archivist
The Rothschild Archive is seeking to appoint an Assistant Archivist to play
a full part in developing the use, accessibility and web profile of a
multi-faceted archive of international importance, based in the City of
London.
The Rothschild Archive houses the records of the Rothschild businesses and
the Rothschild family throughout Europe. At the core of the collection lie
the records of the London merchant bank, N M Rothschild & Sons Limited,
which have relevance to international financial and political history in the
19th century. Among the other collections are records of many of the
Rothschild family's activities in the fields of art, architecture,
viticulture, public service, political engagement, horticulture and
philanthropy.
The Archive enjoys a close working relationship with the French Centre des
Archives du Monde du Travail at Roubaix, part of the Archives Nationales,
where the archives of de Rothschild Frères are housed, and a good working
knowledge of French would be a distinct advantage. In general terms the
post offers an ideal opportunity for a qualified archivist with skills in
one or more European languages to use them in an archival context.
The Rothschild Archive is administered by a charitable Trust. The Assistant
Archivist will be employed by N M Rothschild & Sons Limited, and will enjoy
a competitive remuneration package.
For further information about the post, contact Melanie Aspey or Caroline
Shaw on 020 7280 5874.
Applications, in the form of a curriculum vitae, should be addressed to
Melanie Aspey, Director, The Rothschild Archive, New Court, St Swithin's
Lane, London, EC4P 4DU. The closing date is 12 October 2005 and interviews
will be held in the week of 17 October.
