One Year Contract to assist with our ongoing Flood Recovery Programme
Salary £18,000 per annum
Closing date for applications: Monday 12 July 2010
Interview date: week commencing 2 August 2010
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust based at the Heritage Motor
Centre in Gaydon near Warwick, holds the largest Archive in the world
of historic documentation and photographic material relating to the
British motor industry. The Archive stores suffered from serious
flooding in October 2006 and we are now looking for staff to join a
small team working on the implementation of our full recovery
programme. Though an Archive qualification is not a requirement for
this post some previous experience of archive work is desirable.
This is a valuable opportunity to gain experience in all areas of
Collections Management and the successful candidate will be expected
to work to deadlines with a high level of accuracy. Work will include
appraisal, repackaging and re-integration of conserved material into
the core Collections, extensive redocumentation of displaced material,
and digitisation where required. An interest in the history and
development of the motor industry would be advantageous and a full
driving licence is essential. It will be necessary to have your own
vehicle as there is very limited public transport to the Heritage
Motor Centre which is situated in a rural area of Warwickshire.
