Archivist

An Archivist examines and stores historical or culturally important documents. You’ll analyse pieces to determine their value and take steps to ensure they are correctly preserved. Archivists maintain systems for storing and cataloguing documents and may retrieve pieces when required. You might work with papers, photographs or other historical documents.

Archivists must have a strong knowledge of historical issues and excellent attention to detail. You'll need to be good at research and have good analytical skills. Archivists must be able to work as part of a team and manage their time well. You’ll need to be organised and able to follow correct procedures.
