In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with a compelling collection and digitise documentary evidence of the Holocaust.

You will facilitate clear and open communication between staff, volunteers, and archive users to support access to the collections. You will be able to engage with researchers, artists, and collection donors who use the Holocaust Centre North Archive.

Core Responsibilities:

Digitisation (from February 2024):

  • Working with other team members to undertake PR and marketing activity to promote the collection, for example by writing regular social media and blog posts to highlight collection items or document the progress of Homeward Bound.
  • Support colleagues to identify ways of embedding the collection in the schools' Learning Programme and in enhancements to the exhibition.

Collections Management

  • Support the cataloguing of the collections to ISAD(G) standards, for instance inputting data into MODES collections management software and creating authority files.
  • Develop collections documentation, for instance managing location guides and the accessions database.
  • Support the recording of access restrictions and rights in the collection, ensuring compliance with legislation (such as GDPR and copyright).
  • Sort and list new accessions of archive material.
  • Undertake physical preservation activities for the collections, for instance repackaging and identifying conservation priorities.
  • Undertake basic digital preservation activities, for instance checking fixity and integrity of digital records.
  • Undertake cleaning and environmental monitoring of the collections (archive and exhibition).

Day-to-day operations

  • Manage routine backups of digital records within the archive.
  • Input evaluation data about the collections, for instance recording feedback, enquiries, and usage stats.
  • Undertake any other duties consistent with the post that may be required. This may include evening and weekend work for which time off in lieu will be given.
