The Norfolk Record Office is looking for someone to help deliver its exciting project Hall Marks: The Long Shadows of Norfolk's Lost Country Houses. Using the Office's extensive archival collections, the project will look at the impact of Norfolk's lost estates, of which there are over a hundred.

• The curation of an exhibition at the Norfolk Record Office which showcases its archive holdings which relate to lost country houses and estates.

The successful candidate will also contribute to the running of the project's volunteer programmes.

We are looking for someone with experience of delivering outreach, education, and/or wellbeing events. You must be able to work collaboratively and have strong communication and organisational skills. You must have experience of how to undertake local history research or a willingness to learn quickly how to do so.

Interviews will be held week commencing 8 September 2025.
