They will proactively look for new content to add to the archives, through acquisition of external material, inclusion of UWL content and creation of oral histories.


They will provide an enquiry service for the archives, to both an internal and external audience and design and deliver classes to students on archival material.

They will promote the archives through outreach activities and look for opportunities to make the archive material more accessible to students, researchers and the general public
