• Vacancy for Digitisation Team Leader (Access) at Imperial War Museums

4 September 2023

Duxford, England

£33,062 per annum

Full-Time

The digitisation team converts our analogue collections to enable them to be accessed (for example through collections search) and preserved digitally. The team undertake the work in house or contract work to third parties through frameworks. In all instances the team deliver to internal customers who then connect content with our audiences.

The digitisation team is grouped by why we digitise the collection (access or preservation) and the type of collections that we work to digitise (still or time-based media).

Our access team deliver on-demand requests to enable the collection to be used in our public, learning and commercial programmes. Our preservation team will digitise our most vulnerable assets now, as many of the assets will no longer be in good enough condition to digitise in five years’ time, this project is called Digital Futures.

The Digitisation Team Leader (Access) is a specialist leading a team. The team includes technicians, contract or fee paid staff and volunteers. Third-party digitisation is managed by the Digitisation Manager.

You will oversee digitisation on-demand requests and access projects for our customers and public programmes. You will contribute to these projects at stakeholder level as a supplier at project meetings to inform decision making and to ensure progress daily.

You will have skills in digital photographic digitisation and restoration (as this will form most of your team’s work) and be sufficiently skilled in time-based media digitisation to support the whole team.

You will be adept at using a wide range of high-end capture hardware and are intuitive in the use of various software packages. Computer work is undertaken on both Apple Mac and PC machines with high quality calibrated screens in a colour managed environment. A high level of concentration and attention to detail is a pre-requisite as are an eye and ear for historic detail. You will ensure staff working in this area support each other with learning and keep abreast of current developments.
