This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to put medieval records at the heart of Archives Inspire – The National Archives’ ambitious plan to transform the way the public thinks about archives.

As part of the medieval records team, you will develop a deep knowledge of, and promote understanding of and access to, the collection of medieval records (and in particular, medieval legal records) held by The National Archives through innovative and interdisciplinary research.

You will initiate and oversee access improvement projects (including cataloguing), develop training and research guidance, and take forward The National Archives’ pioneering programme of archival training for postgraduates.

You will also work in our advisory service, delivering research advice on using medieval, early modern and modern records onsite and online, and represent The National Archives’ knowledge function internally and externally.
