UCL has received a Collaborative Doctoral Award from the Arts &
Humanities Research Council. UCL's School of Library, Archive &
Information Studies (SLAIS) and The National Archives will be seeking
a doctoral student to research the changes to archival descriptions
that are taking place as a result of changing from paper-based to
online media. The National Archives, home to many professional
archivists, will enable the student to work alongside professionals
in the field while SLAIS (http://www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/) will support
the research from an academic perspective.
Elizabeth Shepherd hopes that the doctorate will open up new career
paths for academics in the archives and records management sector.
This doctoral programme offers a means for someone, perhaps a young
professional with some experience in the field wishing to embark on
an academic career, to develop a unique mix of skills.
Further details of the opportunity and how to apply will be posted shortly.
