Many, many apologies to those who get this news twice.

 

I’m moving on from my current post as (60% of) the City Archivist for York.  My last day in the office at York will be Thursday 5^th June.  I’m leaving to take up a Heritage Lottery Funded-post at the London Transport Museum – yes, I can’t get away from the HLF! - as Project Curator for the “Johnston Journeys” project, doing collections research and other activities to support the 2016 centenary of London Transport’s unique Johnston typeface, one of the world’s longest-lasting corporate brands.

 

Victoria Hoyle ([log in to unmask]) will be taking over from me as sole City Archivist and interim main point of contact for the Gateway to History project.  You can follow this and everything else we are doing on our blog http://citymakinghistory.wordpress.com/

The other members of the team for your address book are:

In addition we will be recruiting a new full-time Gateway to History Project Delivery Manager on a two-year contract to take over responsibility for completing our HLF-supported transformation project for the archives service, so if you know anyone who might be interested...

 

In an ideal world this new job would have come up at the end of the year when our current building works were completed, but it didn’t.  It fits very well with my developing plans to return to university to do a PhD hopefully next year, and so I couldn’t pass it by in the hope that a similarly good job “might” come up once the building works were finished.

 

Excelsior!

 

Best wishes
