GLAMORGAN RECORD OFFICE
The Glamorgan Record Office is the key body in the preservation of the written history of a large and populous region of South Wales. It provides a joint service to the City and County of Cardiff, the County Borough Councils of Bridgend, Caerphilly (for the former Rhymney Valley District Council area), Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf and the Vale of Glamorgan. The service runs two public search rooms from its base in the Glamorgan Building in Cardiff's civic centre, and is committed to making accessible the archival heritage of the area to a wide range of individuals and organisations, working closely with local libraries, museums and educational institutions.
The Glamorgan Record Office requires two qualified archivists to complete its professional team. You will work as part of the professional team undertaking a wide range of activities working in a culture of change in a busy local authority record office. You will also have responsibility for achieving specific targets laid out in the Record Office's business plan either in the area of collections management or records management. You will therefore require a working knowledge of CALM software and/or current legislation for freedom of information and data protection is essential. A full driving licence is desirable. These posts are suitable for recently qualified archivists.
