SalaryThe Tank Museum Archive is a Place of Deposit for The National Archives. It is the UK's foremost research centre on the subject of armoured warfare and holds documents, photographs, technical drawings, maps, moving images, books and journals directly related to the Royal Armoured Corps and particularly the Royal Tank Regiment.
The Supporting Collection houses the Museum's object collection with the exception of vehicles. It spans four stores and includes, amongst other items, uniforms, medals, flags, weapons, ammunition, models, art, radios and technical instruments. The Archive & Supporting Collections team consists of 7 persons and manages and cares for both the Archive & Supporting Collection.
The Archive & Supporting Collections Officer will play an essential role in answering visitor enquiries and will be a first point of contact for researchers wishing to visit the Archive's Reading Room to carry out on-site research. The post-holder will also catalogue physical and digital archival collections using our TRACER collections database and independently develop cataloguing projects. They will also be involved in digitisation projects, assist in all aspects of collection care and will be required to assist others in the Archive & Supporting Collections team where needed.
