The Museum of London is currently advertising two posts, both of which are
heavily involved with information management and information access
initiatives, details below. The background to this is that I am leaving at
the end of April: the first post is my replacement while the second is a new
post, established in recognition of the workload in this area.

Museums and consists of the Museum of London at London Wall, the Museum in
Docklands, the Museum of London Archaeology & Specialist Services and London
Archaeological Archive & Research Centre.  Its role is to explore the
relationship of London's past with its present and its future.
