RHS Garden Wisley is undergoing redevelopment as part of a Heritage Lottery Funded Key Investment Project to improve facilities, scheduled for completion in 2020. As part of this project the Science Laboratory, a listed Arts and Crafts building, will be redeveloped into a visitor experience centre telling the story of the Garden and its heritage. A permanent exhibition will be created drawing on key aspects of the work of the RHS at Wisley since 1904.
The RHS archive relating to Wisley, most of which is stored offsite, will be a key source for exhibition content. We are looking for a qualified archivist to enhance existing documentation of the archive. The post will be supported by the RHS Archivist. The work must be completed before 31 January 2018, and a start date of late November is envisaged.
