EMPLOYEUR & CONTEXTE :
We are one of the world’s leading authorities on conflict and its impact on people’s lives – from 1914 through to the present day and beyond. Our collections are filled with personal stories and experiences, inspiring powerful and often conflicting emotions. We aim to share these stories with as many audiences as possible across the world in a way that engages and challenges them, increasing understanding of why we go to war and the effect that conflict has on people’s lives. In other words, we expect our stories to change the way people think about war.
We rely on our staff to help us achieve this aspiration. You should be able to demonstrate the skills and competencies set out below, but equally we are looking for people who believe in what we do and who we are, and can treat every colleague, customer or visitor with respect, courtesy and honesty. We expect our staff to work flexibly and with enthusiasm. These are the qualities that make IWM such an extraordinary place to work.
Purpose of the job : This is a fixed term appointment to assist on a specific project in support of the IWM Accommodation and Storage programmes driven by the Transforming IWM London and Collections Storage strategy.
The objective is to prepare IWM Collections documentation (such as acquisition files) for their eventual move from office areas to dedicated archive storage, and the role will involve cataloguing files onto IWM’s collections management system and repackaging them for transfer. The tasks will be repetitive and to large extent involve data input, but require a level of concentration and careful attention to detail, contributing to a critical piece of work in support of IWM’s major priority projects.
The job will suit someone looking for a basic introduction to archive work or hoping to gain experience in advance of training as an archivist or records manager. Lire la suite →
