Cataloguing Archivist (part‐time)

2 days per week, Fixed term ‐ 9 months

Salary: £23,100 per annum, pro rata

 

The Linnean Society of London is the world’s oldest extant

biological society and has in its care several internationally

important collections. As a result of a generous grant from

the Wellcome Trust, the Society is seeking a part‐time

qualified Archivist to create an online catalogue of one of

these collections, the correspondence of its founder, Sir

James Edward Smith (1759‐1828).

 

The collection consists of ca. 3,800 letters, most of which

are housed in 26 bound volumes. The online catalogue will

be the first step in providing better access to this

collection, prior to conservation and digitisation.

Candidates should have a first degree, a recognised

postgraduate archive qualification and experience of

cataloguing to ISAD(G) standards using CALM software.

 

For further details and application information visit our

week beginning Monday 21 September 2009.
