Royal Festival Hall 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 ideal candidate will have experience of managing and motivating a small
team of volunteers. Experience of working with collections is desirable but not
essential.
