Applications are open for two PhD placements working with the Slavonic and East European collections at the British Library. Successful applicants will receive a hands-on introduction to the activities of a major cultural organisation and help to improve access to the collections.
The first project, ‘Displaced Persons (DP) Camp Publications in the British Library’, will involve enhancing metadata for the Library’s Ukrainian DP camp publications and researching and promoting this collection.
The second placement, ‘Contextualising a digital photographic archive of Siberian Indigenous peoples’, will focus on research into collections and resources in the British Library related to Indigenous peoples of Siberia.
The three-month (or part-time equivalent) placements are open to UK-based PhD students from all disciplines and academic backgrounds.
