We have an exciting opportunity for an archivist to join the team at the University of Liverpool within the Libraries, Museums, Galleries Directorate, Cultural Heritage Team, to catalogue the archive of John Garstang. Archaeologist, John Garstang founded the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Liverpool in 1904. It was the working home for Garstang, built an extensive collection finds excavated by in the ancient Near East, especially Egypt, Sudan, Anatolia, and the southern Levant. Garstangs excavations were sponsored, and alongside being housed in Liverpool, the finds distributed to over a hundred institutions across the world. This distribution is being identified and recorded as part of the AHRC RICHeS project at the University, reuniting objects, increasing usability and accessibility in research and addressing colonial acquisition practice. At the University, the archive of John Garstangs excavations, and correspondence with his sponsors sheds light on his work, and the network left across the world. A unique photographic record of the excavations offers further insight into his practice and supports the identification of objects today. We are looking for an archivist to produce a catalogue of the archive in a 12 month project, making connections to the work being undertaken by curators to accession and survey objects. The output of the project will be a standards based catalogue online, enhanced with subject and place tags, digitisation priorities and enhancements identified, and prepared for Arabic translation.
