Position at National Library of Scotland

Photographic Collections Conservator
The National Library of Scotland
Edinburgh

Part time (18.5 hours per week) and fixed term for 2 years

Salary UKP29,608 (pro rata)

The National Library of Scotland has an extensive collection of
photographic material, including loose and mounted photographs,
photograph albums, slides, negatives, volumes illustrated with
photographs and photographic postcards.  A recent survey of part of
the collection identified the need for a major programme of
conservation and re-housing, and the post of a Photographic
Collections Conservator has been created in order to tackle this
work and to undertake surveys and identify priorities among the
remainder of the collection.  Funding is also in place for a
Photographic Collections Intern, who will be supervised by the
Photographic Collections Conservator.

Applications are encouraged from conservators with a recognised
conservation qualification or an equivalent qualification or
experience.  Applicants should have at least two years of practical
experience since qualifying, and should be confident in identifying
and treating different photographic processes and formats.
Experience of book conservation is preferred but not essential.
Applicants should be accredited or working towards accreditation
through Icon's PACR scheme.

The closing date for applications is 10 May 2016 at midnight.
