You will work at the University of Bristol’s Theatre Collection on the archive of the arts organisation, Welfare State International (1968-2006), as part of the Wellcome funded Fire starters project to make the archive accessible. The role-holder will support the Fire starters project by providing high-quality digital images of selected material from the Welfare State International archive to enable and increase public access to the collection for research, education and inspiration.  The archival material selected for digitisation will respond to key research themes and will include documents created as part of producing performances such as planning notes and sketches, marketing material like programmes and posters, as well as photographic material including prints, slides, transparencies and negatives.  The project aims to digitise one evocative item from each production, as well as intensively digitise material from 10-20 key productions to enable remote in-depth research access, creating 2250-2500 images. Working as part of a small team and under the supervision of the Project Archivist, the role-holder will work to integrate the images into our Digital Asset Management System for digital preservation, as well as into our archival management system and web pages to increase discoverability and access.  What will you be doing? capture images of archival materials using camera or scanners appropriate to the material being copied, and process the files in image-handling software record basic descriptive, copyright and technical metadata use creative and technical judgment to optimise images for a variety of uses autonomously organise and prioritise tasks, whilst monitoring the progress of digitisation against project targets FIND OUT MORE & APPLY
