The British Library is home to the nation’s Sound Archive, an extraordinary collection of over 6.5 million recordings of speech, music, wildlife and the environment, from the 1880s to the present day. As an Audio Engineer, you will be responsible for the digitisation of sound recordings held on endangered audio and audiovisual media, enabling access to sound collections by the public, both on-site at events, exhibitions and in reading rooms and off-site in broadcasts and through the Internet.

You will have strong, demonstrable knowledge of obsolete sound carriers and current digital formats, a familiarity with audio recording, playback and transfer technologies, with demonstrable experience of professional audio archival work including the creation of metadata relating to digital audio resources and relevant education to degree level or equivalent professional experience in an archive.
