Royal Festival Hall Archive box listing coordinator
The Royal Festival Hall Archive aims to collect, manage and preserve information,
documents and artefacts relating to events and exhibitions held in the performing arts
and public spaces of Southbank Centre. This includes the Royal Festival Hall, Queen
Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and outdoor spaces around the Southbank Centre site.
Southbank Centre has embarked on a process of reviewing the scope and content of the
Royal Festival Hall Archive and exploring options for its future organisation and access.
Box listing is the crucial first step in the process of organising the archive and opening it
up for public use. The resulting box list will inform decisions about the final arrangement
of the archive and will form the basis of a catalogue.
We are looking for a coordinator to train, manage and motivate a team of 5 volunteer
participants to box list archival material currently in storage.
This post is offered on a freelance basis at a day rate of £150 for 3 days per week over
12 weeks (a total of 36 days).
The successful candidate will have a qualification in archives, or equivalent experience,
and experience of managing and motivating a small team of volunteers.
