The Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) is widely recognised as one of the world's leading conservatoires and one of the North West's premier performance venues. We are looking for a talented individual to appoint as College Archivist with responsibility for the archive collections which include the organisational records of the two founding institutions and the College's own records dating from its inception in 1973, as well as the personal papers of individuals with connections to the RNCM and its predecessors.
The main responsibilities will be: managing the archive collections, including cataloguing and sorting, assisting users (both internal and external) with research and promoting the collections as widely as possible.
You should have a recognised qualification in archives administration and experience of working in, or managing, an archive. A high level of IT literacy, good interpersonal skills and the ability to work on your own are essential. Experience of cataloguing using CALM 2000/EAD would be advantageous; the ability to read music and a good knowledge of classical music are highly desirable.
