Job Description:
The digitisation team converts our analogue collections to enable them to be accessed (for example through collections search) and preserved digitally. The team undertake the work in house or contract work to third parties through frameworks. In all instances the team deliver to internal customers who then connect content with our audiences.
The digitisation team is grouped by why we digitise the collection (access or preservation) and the type of collections that we work to digitise (still or time-based media).
Our preservation team will digitise our most vulnerable assets now, as many of the assets will no longer be in good enough condition to digitise in five years’ time. This project is called Digital Futures and will be the focus of the Team Leader (Preservation)’s work.
The Digitisation Team Leader (Access/Preservation) is a specialist leading an in-house team. The team includes technicians, contract or fee paid staff and volunteers. Third-party digitisation is managed by the Digitisation Manager.
The Preservation team’s work is project based with our current Digital Futures project seeking to capture 2.1 million items in 5 years, alongside digitisation on-demand requests which make up the Access team’s work. You will be asked to contribute to these projects at stakeholder level as a supplier at project meetings to inform decision making and to ensure progress daily.
You will be highly skilled in time-based media digitisation or stills digitisation and will require sufficient skill in both media to support the whole team.
You will be adept at using a wide range of high-end capture hardware and are intuitive in the use of various software packages. Computer work is undertaken on both Apple Mac and PC machines with high quality calibrated screens in a colour managed environment. A high level of concentration and attention to detail is a pre-requisite as are an eye and ear for historic detail. You will ensure staff working in this area support each other with learning and keep abreast of current developments.
