- Cathedral Archivist -
We are seeking to recruit a part-time (14hrs pw) Cathedral Archivist on a fixed term 12 month contract.
The post holder will be responsible for developing and implementing systems and procedures for the proper management of the Cathedral’s documentary heritage and records, ensuring that the Cathedral’s historically valuable documents and modern records are not only preserved and organised to the highest professional standards, but embedded fully in the life of Cathedral. The Cathedral’s archival holdings are diverse and range from valuable architectural drawings to collections of historical and literary papers, as well as personal memoirs and materials such as Cathedral books as well as contemporary and historic minutes of the governing body.
The post-holder will be an integral member of the project team, comprising this post and a part time Collections Coordinator. This post will be based at Bristol Archives, working on a collection of national significance, with other specialist colleagues. It is expected that the post-holder will spend the majority of their time documenting and researching, but they also be expected to support the wider project based at Bristol Cathedral, and public dissemination and engagement.
