Archives and Special Collections

Further information and resources

Working in Archives, Special Collections or Records Management requires many of the same core skills and competencies as Librarianship, in areas like planning, organisation, communication and IT. But the aims and focus of work can be very different, requiring knowledge and experience in specialist areas such as information legislation, conservation and exhibition curation.

There is a wide range of learning materials, courses and professional bodies which can help support your academic and professional career development, some of which we've highlighted for you here.
