Vacancy for Digitisation Technician Trainee at Imperial War Museums
Fixed Term The digitisation team converts our analogue collections to enable them to be accessed (for example through collections search) and preserved digitally. The team includes technicians, contract or fee paid staff and volunteers and, in addition, work is also contracted out to third-party suppliers. In all instances, the team delivers to internal customers who then connect content with our audiences. The digitisation team is grouped by why (access or preservation) we digitise the collection and the type of collections that we work to digitise (still or time-based media). As a trainee, you will learn how to work with the time-based media within our collections. Specifically, film, video, and sound. These come in a variety of types, formats, and materials and are some of the most fragile objects in our care. You will also learn how to work safely in our laboratory environment. The Digitisation Technician (Time-based media) is skilled, and by the end of your traineeship, you’ll undertake all the steps to digitise all forms of film, video and sound to preservation and/or access standard.
