Job Opportunity: National Trust Collections Cataloguer (x2)

 The National Trust is undertaking the delivery of new programmes of interpretation using their world collections, and are seeking two Collections Cataloguers to support the objectives of this project. The cataloguing roles will support the editing of outdated language on our collections management system, as well as improving the lack of research and information available online about our world collections. 

This role is part of a short-term project, offered on a fixed-term basis until the end of February 2022. 

Are you excited by the prospect of new research, creating national connections, and improving public access? Your practical cataloguing skills and world collections research will enable the National Trust to promote under-researched collections to external audiences, and ensure collections can readily support the diverse ways we communicate history publicly.
