## Summary

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is currently seeking a heritage professional for the "Heritage Professional - Archives Project 'Remotely Digital'", aiming to enhance accessibility to the Barnsley Archives Sound and Film collection through a remote volunteering initiative. The tender, which falls under the training services and cultural services categories, has a value of £25,000 and is set to close for submissions on 27th March 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 28th March 2022 and will run until 31st December 2022, with the project based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

## Notice

Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund via 'Digital Volunteering' we are looking to appoint a heritage professional to manage a remote volunteering project with the aim of making the Barnsley Archives Sound and Film collection more accessible. The project will allow those who aren't able to physically visit us to work with and enjoy the collections. We want to analyse, convert, interpret and facilitate the cataloguing of the Barnsley Sound and Film Archive held by Barnsley Archives and Local Studies. Remote volunteers will be trained to help with the processing, interpreting and transcribing. Volunteers will gain new skills and knowledge specific to the archive service and gain unique access to the collection. We are looking for someone comfortable and confident with using digital technology, the handling, cataloguing, and working with collections and in training and development of volunteers using digital formats. The appointed person would be supported by the Barnsley Museums Volunteer Coordinator, the Archives Manager and the wider archives team. There is also provision for volunteer needs as part of the funding. Full brief attached in documents section and the value of tender is PS25,000, the project is aimed to be completed by Dec 2022.
