We are seeking a Digital Archives Relocation (DAR) Project Lead to join the Parliamentary Archives at the House of Lords. This role involves working within a project timetable, collaborating with the Archive Relocation Programme and Parliamentary Archives staff, to lead preparation work and plan and deliver the Digital Archive Relocation project.
The DAR Project Lead will also manage two project archivists, who will ensure that catalogue data and digital records in Parliamentary Archives systems are adequately prepared for migration and transfer to The National Archives (TNA).
This position offers a hybrid working arrangement, depending on business needs. It is an excellent opportunity for someone experienced in digital projects, with a strong understanding of collections management systems, digital preservation, or data migration within a project setting. Experience working in a heritage organization, particularly involving heritage collection moves or organizational mergers, would be advantageous.
