Assistant Archivist
Full-time, permanent post

St George’s Chapel was founded in 1348. Its archives, which date from the 12th century, relate not only to the history of the Chapel and associated buildings in the Lower Ward of Windsor Castle, but also to the properties it once possessed in 30 counties in England and Wales. Illuminated manuscripts include the early registers of the Order of the Garter. The Chapter Library contains almost 6,000 rare books, dating mainly from the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Dean and Canons of Windsor invite applications from graduates with a qualification in archives and records management for the post of Assistant Archivist. Students expecting to graduate with a professional qualification this summer are also encouraged to apply.
The successful applicant will be required to carry out the full range of professional duties and to assist the Archivist and Chapter Librarian in the management, promotion and overall development of the department.
