Dear All,
My name is John Jay and I am trying to help a dear friend who has need of some help from a qualified archivist with a knowledge of medieval Latin and with English as it was written in the 17th and 18th centuries as well as in the 19th and 20th centuries plus a good understanding of how best to conserve and store old documents. My friend, who comes from an old English gentry family, is putting his family papers in order and making sure they are properly filed and stored in an archive he has constructed within his home in Berkshire just north of the M4 near Newbury. He believes the project would last approximately six months on a five-days-a-week basis but might last longer on a part-time basis. The assignment would be on commercial terms.
This is my first posting so do, please, forgive me if I have not followed standard format. The person who suggested I send this message said that I should ask people to respond 'off-list'. If potential candidates for this assignment wish to discuss it with me, I can be reached during office hours on 020 7045 0639 as well as on my mobile phone, the number of which is 07836 621930.
Yours sincerely,
John Jay
