About the role: It's bringing centuries of history into the digital

every digital image for quality and metadata compliance, carrying

will allow a broader audience to engage with one of the world's most
interesting Archive collections.

About you: You'll already have experience of capturing and producing
high quality digital images, as well as some expertise in digital
imaging software, making you a real asset to our team.  You'll also
ideally have experience of working with archival material and
excellent knowledge of workflows in a digital environment.
Self-motivated with a meticulous eye for detail, you're confident
creating and interpreting metadata, meeting all current metadata
standards.  Good organisational and planning skills are essential,
as you'll be meeting regular project deadlines.  Above all, your
positive proactive approach, along with your strong communication
skills mean you'll enjoy working within our team, who bring to life
a unique history.

This is your opportunity to use your digital imaging skills to
deliver the exceptional.  In return you will be rewarded with a
comprehensive benefits package, including 33 days holiday (inclusive
of Bank Holidays), a 15% employer contribution pension scheme (with
the option for flexibility--to increase contributions or draw down
as salary), lunch provided, with training and development, as well
as a range of recreational facilities.
