Birmingham, United Kingdom Sainsbury'S Full time

About the Collection The Sainsbury Archive documents the history of Sainsbury's from its foundation in Drury Lane in 1869, but also provides a unique record of the transformation that has occurred in retailing since the mid-19th century, and the impact of these changes on society.
The core of the archive was formed at the time of the company's centenary in 1969 and has steadily grown to more than 700 linear metres of shelving, including documents, objects (ranging from food preparation and testing equipment to product packaging and staff uniforms), photographs and audiovisual material.
The collection includes a large number of photographs and artefacts and is particularly strong in the areas of product packaging, advertising and retail stores.
However, the archive also includes key company records such as reports and accounts and press releases, as well as material relating to all aspects of the business, including head office operations, food supply, production and distribution, subsidiary companies and staff records.
In recent years, as part of a major digitisation project, over 120,000 images have been made available and accessible via the Archive website which receives over 250,000 hits per year.
What we hold The Archive is a rich resource for specialist and general research on a wide range of topics including: Business and retail history Shopping and eating habits Architecture and urban development Advertising, display, packaging and product design Local and family history About the Archive In 2003 the Sainsbury Archive was set up as an independent charity and in 2005, relocated to the London Museum Docklands in Canary Wharf.
The object of The Sainsbury Archive is to advance education for the public benefit by collecting, maintaining and displaying items and documents relating to the history of Sainsbury's and the family of John James Sainsbury.
The collection is currently curated by the Museum of London and is in the process of a potential relocation to a new site at Smithfield, London.
