Digitisation projects at an unprecedented scale allow for digital access to our collections in the hundreds of millions of documents per year. Digitisation projects are a key part of The National Archives business, access and preservation strategies. They involve multiple departments working interdependently to bring a project together, and allow us to build valuable partnerships with external clients and companies.

You will ensure that high standards of document handling and sensitivity to the original material are maintained, both in terms of physical handling and the equipment and methods used. You will have proven skills in managing a team of conservation professionals in accordance with The National Archives’ Human Resources policies, bringing excellent interpersonal, communication and coaching skills and an informed approach to staff development and>You will bring the highest professional standards to all aspects of the role and will be expected to make a significant contribution to the development of collection care at The National Archives through best practice and innovation.
