We are looking for a passionate archivist / librarian / museum cataloguer with experience with images.

Under direction of the Collections Manager, the Collections Officer (Images) would undertake a range of tasks related to the RHSV Collection including research and analysis in order to describe and catalogue collection items; scan and digitise images; handle and store collection material; liaise and negotiate with donors and coordinate with stakeholders; represent the section; respond to public enquiries and assist with project development where necessary. The Collections Officer will be required to provide expertise and recommendations for development and management of the RHSV’s Image collection, including the research and interpretation of this collection. As we are a small organisation the role has curatorial elements too. This could include copyright, contributing to the planning of exhibitions, writing narratives, contributing to publications and interpreting the collection.

The Collections Officer (Images) will be required to work across multiple RHSV systems such as collection management systems (eHive, Archivematica, ATOM) and document management systems on a daily basis. The images collection catalogue is being migrated currently from InMagic DB/TextWorks to eHive (almost finished!).
