Collections Team Volunteers – Feminist Library
The Feminist Library is looking for volunteers to join its Collections team.
Are you a library/archives student looking for experience in a radical library setting, or a part-time or retired librarian who is keen to use your skills to help us with lots of exciting projects?
The Feminist Library has survived for most of its 35 years due to committed volunteers. We house an amazing collection of second wave material which we want to preserve while continuing to collect contemporary material, and we have created a firm activist standing in the current feminist community.
Come along and be part of it.
We need help with completing the task of getting the collection onto our online catalogue, and with sorting duplicates and donations, including a recent large bequest from a leading academic in the gender and education field.
We are particularly looking for people with experience of the following, but all levels of interest are most welcome:
* Classification schemes and cataloguing
* Archive experience
* Knowledge of secondhand/rare books
* Stock management
* IT website/blog archiving skills
Please contact us at collections@feministlibrary.co.uk with a brief outline of your experience and interest.
