Eton College was founded in 1440 but records relating to the lands with which it was endowed date back to the 11th century. The archives are mainly concerned with administrative matters until the mid-19th century when records relating to the school become increasingly dominant.
Eton College seeks to recruit an Archives Assistant to support the work of the College Archives. This is a two-year, fixed-term contract to September 2027. This role is intended to offer the necessary experience prior to undertaking a postgraduate archive training course or equivalent, but the role would also be suitable for a candidate wishing to work whilst completing their postgraduate studies via one of the distance learning courses.
Due to the needs of the school and the department, we may interview suitable candidates before the closing date. This job may also close early if a large number of applications are received. You are advised to submit your application as early as possible to avoid missing your chance to apply.
