The Opportunity

The Regional Ethnology of Scotland Archive Project is currently offering a part-time opportunity for two students to join the Heritage Collections Team as RESP Social Media and Engagement Interns. The Heritage Collections team are responsible for the cultural heritage collections of the University of Edinburgh. Our guiding principles are that we preserve, provide access to, and interpret the cultural heritage of the University (online, in galleries and in reading rooms); and that we are a research laboratory for the humanities, collaborating on research, teaching and civic engagement. The RESP Archive Project manages an active collection of over 1,000 oral history recordings gathered from across Scotland.
