Fixed Term
Are you passionate about data and making a difference in the public sector? The National Archives is looking for a talented data specialist to transform archival metadata bringing history to life.
About Us:
At The National Archives, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research into all aspects of our collections and activities is at the heart of what we do. This role will support two major ongoing projects.
- EHRI-UK is the national node of the EHRI project, a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) committed to trans-national Holocaust research, commemoration and education. One of the central tenets of EHRI-UK is the integration of information about dispersed Holocaust archives into the central EHRI portal.
- The 1941 National Farm Survey is a window in time on the UK’s agriculture and land use in the middle of the Second World War. Containing extensive data on over 300,000 English and Welsh farms, the survey is among the most-requested record series at The National Archives. Currently, the complex filing of the paper record makes it difficult for readers to order and this project, generously funded by the Lund Trust, will make it more easily available online.
About the Role:
As data analyst for these projects, you will design and develop scripts and tools to automate the processing and transformation of textual archival metadata. The most common data formats you will encounter are .csv, .xlsx .xml and .json. You will be based in our growing and vibrant Research, Grants and Academic Engagement Department, but will work with colleagues from across the organisation providing technical consultancy and solutions.
