The Wiener Holocaust Library is the world’s oldest Holocaust archive and the home of Britain’s largest collection of published and unpublished works, documents and photographs relating to the Nazi era.
PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
We are seeking a qualified librarian, information professional or experienced cataloguer to work as a Project Cataloguer supporting the DTP and other projects. Candidates should have demonstrable experience of cataloguing printed materials (e.g. books, periodicals, pamphlets) and/or AV materials (e.g. oral histories). They must be well-organised, driven to achieve high standards and show considerable initiative.
The successful candidate will work with a wide variety of our unique materials including pamphlets, periodicals, objects, posters and AV material. This material encompasses evidence of political antisemitism and fascism across Europe, Britain and elsewhere, rare newspapers and reports written by Displaced Persons and Holocaust survivors after liberation, and one of the largest collections of Nazi propaganda held outside Germany.
As we are a small organisation, we are looking for someone who is a good team player and willing to be involved in a variety of projects as necessary.
