Volunteering Programmes

We have an integrated volunteers programme to support our library and archive work, which recruits twice a year through a public call-out. Volunteers gain experience in all aspects of our organisational, research-based and public-facing work in the library and archive.

Placement Programmes

We also work with a small number of key academic partners to offer a library, archive and curatorial work placement each year. Secured through an application and interview process, we ensure each placement includes a broad range of experiences, with active involvement in programme research, development, and production. We are not able to offer short work experience to anyone under 18 years old.

Internships

Currently, we are not able to support requests for internships outside our volunteering and placement programmes.
