Applications Open: Young Archivists!

Croydon Archives is looking for 10 ‘Young Archivists’ to participate in a 15-month paid programme exploring the diverse experiences of young people and underrepresented histories in Croydon. In addition to participating in workshops with an exciting selection of sector professionals and organisations, you will work alongside us to co-create an engagement programme which could include exhibitions, events and digital content showcased to a public audience - leaving a permanent legacy in Croydon Archives.

The deadline to apply is 6PM on Wednesday 21st February.

The Young Archivists programme offers a fun and supportive space to develop your research skills, creative talents and work experience – as well as discover new passions, collaborate with other young people and see whether a career in the culture and heritage sectors is for you!

Young Archivists will be paid London Living Wage (£13.15 per hour).

The programme involves a commitment of 4-5 hours per month between March 2024 and May 2025. Young Archivists sessions will take place in-person in Croydon, outside of your school or college attendance hours.
