Dear colleagues,
I'd be grateful if you could pass details of this paid internship to recently qualified professionals or those in the final stages of qualification interested in developing their cataloguing experience:
The Centre for Research Collections (CRC), University of Edinburgh, has developed an internship programme to teach and extend core skills in the archive discipline.
An internship is available for 10 weeks full-time from April to June 2015. A stipend of £3100 is attached to the internship.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on unique material in Lothian Health Services Archive (www.lhsa.lib.ed.ac.uk): the internship will focus on cataloguing selected patient case notes from the Edinburgh neurosurgeon, Norman McOmish Dott (1897-1973). The case notes will be catalogued using Encoded Archive Description (EAD) inside an XML editor as part of the Wellcome Trust funded project: Cataloguing Norman Dott's neurosurgical case notes 1920-1960 (http://www.lhsa.lib.ed.ac.uk/projects/Cataloguingcasenotes.htm). Wider experience of working in the archive and higher education sectors will also be offered.
The internship is ideally suited for someone who has recently completed, or is in the final stages of obtaining, a relevant postgraduate qualification in archive administration or records management.
Further details on how to apply can be found here, although please note the application deadline of Monday 9th March 2015: http://bit.ly/1ANR1Wj
With best wishes
