Archivist & Digital Resources Manager
The Royal Society is the
oldest scientific academy
in continuous existence and the organisation owns some of the world’s
most important manuscripts, books, paintings and objects relating to the
history of science. We would like to share these resources with the
world.
We
wish to recruit an Archivist or Historian with experience in preserving
and presenting archives, manuscripts and other materials as digital
resources
for public and academic audiences. The post-holder should be capable of
planning and executing projects aimed at expressing these treasures
online. Applicants should have good project management, procurement and
database skills with knowledge of image capture
and metadata standards for archives. The successful candidate will work
within a small curatorial team and will develop ideas aimed at exciting
new audiences about science and its heritage.
Closing
date for applicants is Thursday 26 May 2016. We will be holding
interviews on Friday 3 June 2016. For further information contact
