Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

About the role


We are delighted to announce an exciting opportunity for a Project Archivist to join the Archives and Modern Manuscripts team at the Bodleian Libraries.


This role will support metadata creation and management activities associated with cataloguing and digitisation of archives and manuscripts being undertaken at the Bodleian Libraries.

You will be critical to ensuring that metadata generated meets the Bodleian Libraries' metadata guidelines, optimising its potential for supporting discovery, use and management of collections.


You will achieve this through transforming metadata from unstructured forms into Bodleian-approved forms, supporting colleagues working on cataloguing collection materials, quality assurance in relation to relevant metadata, and taking responsibility for publication and updating of relevant metadata in internal systems and in our public-facing catalogue, Bodleian Archives & Manuscripts.


The role requires lifting, carrying and moving collection material and library records, by hand and using trolleys, kickstools and lifts.

This is a full-time, fixed-term post for 11 months, working 37.5 hours per week.

About you
You will be educated to degree level or have equivalent experience

Your communications skills will be strong, and you will be adept at communicating complex ideas in simple language.


A high degree of technical literacy, with practical experience and advanced skills in working with metadata manipulation in various forms including spreadsheets and XM is also essential.

You will possess good time and project management skills

Possession of a postgraduate qualification in archives administration, digital curation or similar is desirable

What We Offer
As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees' wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:

  • An excellent contributory pension scheme
  • A comprehensive range of childcare services
  • Family leave schemes
  • Cycle loan scheme
  • Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans


The University also runs an enormous amount of social groups and sports clubs for those looking for more than just a great place to work.
