Archives Assistant
£20,000 per annum | Fixed term to 31 December 2013
The Royal Albert Hall is one of the world’s most recognisable and best loved entertainment venues with an unrivalled history of world-class artists and performances. Its archive is a unique cultural, arts and science heritage resource which aims to collect, preserve and make accessible internationally important collections. These collections chart the history of this iconic building, the organisation, the legendary performers, and the events that have been hosted at the Hall since its opening in 1871.
As part of the Hall’s commitment to providing public benefit and to the ongoing development of its Archive, we are seeking an enthusiastic full time Archives Assistant to join our team.
Reporting to the Archive Manager, the main responsibility of the postholder will be the cleansing of existing data in the Hall’s event database, which records the Hall’s history of performances since 1871. In addition, the postholder will undertake historical research to add new information to the database, and on occasion catalogue archival material.
This is an ideal opportunity for the right candidate to gain further insight into the archive and heritage profession and develop practical archival skills.
Candidates will be qualified to degree level or equivalent, have excellent IT skills, and will have a genuine intention to study for a post graduate qualification in Archive Management. Experience of CALM or similar databases and an appreciation of archival cataloguing procedures, gained from a previous internship or placement would be very desirable.

Closing date: Noon on Monday, 17 June 2013.
