Position at National Archives, Kew

Project Conservator (5 positions)
National Archives
London, England

UKP21,495

Working in the Digitisation Project Conservation Team within the
Commercial and Business Delivery Department, the Project Conservator
needs to work efficiently within a dedicated team of conservators
who are responsible for assessing and preparing records for
digitisation.

Digitisation projects are a key part of The National Archives'
business, access and preservation strategies.  They involve multiple
departments working interdependently to bring a project together,
and allow us to build valuable partnerships with external clients
and companies.  The role has an impact on the ability of the
organisation to deliver large scale digitization projects many of
which have a strong commercial benefit.  Maintaining the balance
between the preservation needs of the collection and the commercial
aspects of the project is crucial.  The Project Conservator plays a
vital part in facilitating the smooth running of these projects to
ensure timely delivery while upholding the professional reputation
of The National Archives.

The Project Conservator ensures that all information on the document
can be captured and that damage to documents during scanning is
minimised through appropriate preparation.  They must be able to
meet strict targets and deadlines so an ability to work under
pressure is vital.

The role requires a recognised professional qualification in
conservation with a specialism book, paper or archives conservation
at degree level or higher, or equivalent experience.
