RHS Lindley Collections, one of the finest horticultural libraries in the world, are undertaking a project to document the history of the internationally famous RHS Chelsea Flower Show. This exciting role focuses on cataloguing our historic photography collections relating to Chelsea with a view to making the collection accessible via the public catalogue.
The photography collections sit within the wider RHS Heritage Collections of botanical art, archives, objects and ephemera. They comprise prints, transparencies, and glass negatives, and include coverage of RHS Chelsea since its inception in 1913 to the present day.
We are initially recruiting for an 8-month fixed term post, running until the end of January 2025.
To work for the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is to join a thriving charity, whose mission is to inspire everyone to grow. Everything we do is built on the transformational power of gardening – and the benefits it brings to people, places and our planet.
