EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE HISTORY
COLLECTIONS MANAGER AND ASSISTANT ARCHIVIST
Black Cultural Archives, London
Black Cultural Archives, a charity dedicated to collecting, preserving and celebrating the history of Black people in Britain, is on the brink of making history. The Heritage Lottery Fund recently announced a £4millon grant for the Black Cultural Archives to establish the National Black Heritage Centre in Brixton. Set to open in April 2012, the centre will be the permanent home of the Black Cultural Archives’ collection of historic material, providing the foundation for a strong public programme that will include outreach, exhibitions, educational activities and events.
We are searching for experienced professionals motivated to work at an organisation dedicated to Black heritage, who have a keen interest in Black history and are inspired to be a part of a Black-led organisation. Black Cultural Archives’ staff will build upon and extend existing learning and collections programmes, fundraising efforts, and community development initiatives and contribute to the construction and opening of the new building and the operation of the new facility.
