- The National Fairground and Circus Archive, which holds collections embodying the history of travelling popular entertainment in the United Kingdom from the seventeenth century onwards.
- The University Heritage Collection, which consists of thousands of objects that the University has acquired since its foundation in 1905, along with two unique museums.
The role will support delivery of the Library’s Five Year Plan by working to increase the cultural impact and engagement of our special collections, heritage and archives, through targeted outreach to local and regional communities, a significant and strategic increase in the digital and physical accessibility of our collections and developing our own capacity as research partners.
