Wycombe Furniture Archive. Key staff are now needed to support this
programme.

You will digitally capture the analogue material (images and

collection into a standardised catalogued digital format. Funded by
the Arts and Humanities Research Council resource enhancement

digitised material for long term preservation and web delivery and
will assist in the cataloguing and management of the digitised
material. Working within the project team you will play a central
role in this important and exciting opportunity.
