Dear all,
The College is currently advetising a vacancy for an Archives and Record Management intern.
We are looking to catalogue its historical records and develop an online database to allow members of the public to access information about archival holdings, as well as embark on a project to repackage the collection into suitable housing so that it is adequately preserved for the future. Internally, the College is also working to establish a new Information Management framework, including records classification schemes and retention schedules.
This placement is intended to assist prospective archivists and Records Managers to learn a range of skills and garner a variety of experiences, including working directly with collections, establishing relationships with key stakeholders and assisting the Records Manager with investigating opportunities for collection development activities, including an Oral History Project.
The post would be ideal for those building a year’s experience in archives prior to undertaking a postgraduate course in archives/records management, or current students looking to build their experience. It would be well suited to someone with a keen interest in history.
The internship is unpaid although a travel & lunch allowance is provided.
