We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to oversee the digitization of an historic photography collection with a dedicated cross-departmental project team. The Royal Photographic Society (RPS) collection is the largest and most important collection of photography at the V&A. It contains many items of global significance, including some of the earliest photographs, artworks by well-known photographers, invaluable documents of history and evidence of some 200 years of technical and scientific advances. The collection numbers an estimated 310,000 photographs, negatives, pieces of photographic technology, books, journals and archive items. Some 90% of the collection remains to be digitized. The Project Manager will refine and implement a digitization workflow of cataloguing, conservation and imaging with colleagues to unlock the collections' transformative potential.
The main purpose of the role is to plan, budget, monitor, report on and drive forward the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) Digitization Project. The Project Manager sits within the Photography Section of the Art, Architecture, Photography and Design Department (AAPD). The project is an important part of the V&A’s wider cataloguing, digitization and collections care and access programme. The role includes managing a cross-departmental Project Team, consisting of photographs cataloguers and volunteers and liaising with managers in other departments to coordinate the work of a conservator, archives cataloguer and digital imaging assistants.
