The Central England Digitisation Co-Hub
The Central England Digitisation Co-Hub brings together four of the UK's largest university collections to deliver a step-change in the digitisation of natural history specimens. This project is co-led by the Cambridge University Herbarium, the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and the Oxford University Herbaria. Working in partnership, Cambridge and Oxford are establishing a strategic network of coordinated nodes across England's central belt, supporting 23 museums and herbaria to increase their capacity and readiness for digitisation.
We are seeking a Senior Digitiser to play a key role in digitising important collections across both the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, and the Cambridge University Herbarium. You will be the senior member of a small team of Digitisers, with your time split evenly between the two collections.
