I was really interested in hearing Rachael talk about freelance work. As
a VERY mature lady -I leave both these ladies in the shade age wise, but
still have lots of work and passion for archive work left I hasten to
add! I am studying part time for an MLitt in Archive Management with the
University of Dundee distance learning programme but I am finding it
difficult to get paid archive work in Scotland. Like Judith the reality
lies in the need to earn a living at the same time as studying. Short term
project work or similar would suit me very well. Can anyone tell me how
one goes about setting onself up as a freelance archivist?? I am aware
that in the present financial climate more and more work is done on short
term contracts and often these are not even advertised so if anyone has
information about how to find those jobs, please let me know.
Regards
Ann
