As Digital Archivist, you will lead key aspects of the delivery of The UnMuseum digital archive, working collaboratively with community members, technical specialists, and the project team. You

Working closely with the Community Curator, Senior Curator, and wider team, you will:

- Lead the digitisation, accessioning, and organisation of community collected materials
- Design and facilitate co production workshops and prototype testing with community participants and technical partners
- Support the development and delivery of an interactive, accessible digital archive platform
- Ensure data security, metadata quality, and long term digital preservation
- Embed ethical, decolonial, and anti racist archiving practices across all areas of the project

You will also contribute to participatory events across the South West, supporting communities to digitise and preserve cultural heritage currently at risk, and assist with the delivery of a regional festival celebrating Black identity and belonging.

Closing date: 30th April at 12pm.
