Call for Researchers

The Box

Plymouth

Salary: £3,000 fee

The Box in Plymouth is opening up their archives to researchers to discover more about the films in their collection.

About the Opportunity

As part of our decolonisation journey, we’re opening up our film archive to researchers. The collection is one of the largest regional film archives in the UK, and includes more than 250,000 works maintained in their original, digital and born digital formats.

Through this process we hope to enhance our understanding of the collection, reveal new and diverse narratives that reflect the many communities in the South West and our connections across the globe, and identify gaps in our content.

We are flexible about how the research is conducted and are especially keen to welcome researchers from the global majority or with protected characteristics that are underrepresented in museums, galleries and archives.

Total fee available is £3,000 (paid as a grant).

The closing date for this position is 04/09/2023 at 00:00
