We are seeking an experienced Archive Advisor to support the Development Phase of the project. This role will focus on analysing the church’s existing archives, assessing their content and condition, and advising on best-practice approaches to future public access and interpretation. This role will explore how existing records and materials can be made more accessible, meaningful, and inspiring now and for the future.
This commission is advisory and strategic, not delivery focused. The work will underpin future decisions about how St Laurence Church incorporates its archival materials into the wider project (The Delivery Phase) and long-term heritage offer. The Heritage Engagement Interpretation Lead will be responsible for delivering archive-based engagement during the Delivery Phase, based on the Archive Advisor’s recommendations. Subject to funding and project needs, there may be an opportunity to extend involvement into the Delivery Phase (e.g., supporting implementation of archive engagement activity).
