SOUND ARCHIVING INTERNSHIPS 2009-2010

The British Library is pleased to announce the first round of recruitment
for its third year of funded internships in sound archiving,

These two internships are aimed at those wanting to develop a comprehensive
understanding of technical skills and are open to individuals who wish to
improve their practical skills and who work in an institution that has the
responsibility for the archiving of audiovisual materials.  Successful
candidates will be selected in part on the basis of their ability to
demonstrate the benefits of the internship to their professional
development.

The internships are funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Haymills
Charitable Trust and will take place in the Centre for Conservation at the
British Library's flagship site in London.  Each internship runs for a
period of ten weeks between 5 October and 11 December 2009, and is supported
with a bursary of £2,500.  Internships are open to those who have the right
to live and work in the UK.

The internships combine training along with project work.  A series of
training modules will be offered on working with different audio carriers,
and will include an introduction to the basics of audio theory, archiving
standards and protocols and documentation.  The project work is based upon
existing audio collections held in the British Library. Please note that
each intern will be supervised by a British Library archivist throughout
their internship and work will be monitored on a regular basis.

Dien Luu, Luton Voices Coordinator at Wardown Park Museum, Luton, who
completed her sound archiving internship in 2007 said: "My two month
internship at the British Library Sound Archives has been an invaluable
experience. I was able to gain first hand experience on a variety of
formats: shellac, vinyl, and even wax cylinders!  The one to one support
from the tutor was extremely helpful. Most impressive was how the internship
was tailored to my individual needs."
