Vacancy for File Format Analyst at The National Archives

Date: 4 July 2021

Location: Richmond upon Thames, London

Employment Type: Fixed Term


About the Role

Within The National Archives, the Digital Archiving team plays a crucial role in safeguarding the Digital Public Record for future generations. We aim to collect, preserve, and provide access to a diverse range of born digital formats, including documents, datasets, algorithms, and complex systems.

To effectively preserve records, we must first understand what we have. Since 2001, we have maintained PRONOM, a comprehensive database of file format information, and the related file format identification tool, DROID. These tools are used worldwide by archives and cultural heritage organizations to identify file formats, enabling them to plan for preservation and ensure the longevity of digital data.

As our File Format Analyst, you will provide essential support to the digital preservation team. Your work will also benefit the global digital archiving community. Responsibilities include conducting detailed analysis of digital files, supporting other institutions through enquiries, and sharing your expertise. There will be opportunities to develop ideas to enhance our tools.

You will collaborate with a diverse, skilled team of digital archivists and data engineers.

This is a full-time position. Requests for part-time work, flexible hours, or job sharing will be considered, depending on operational needs. A combination of onsite and remote work is available, and applicants should be able to regularly travel to our Kew site.
