Volunteer Cataloguing in Archives

TNA wishes to appoint a freelance consultant (or organisation) to produce guidance on the role volunteers can play in archival cataloguing. The guidance will assist archives across the sector in managing cataloguing projects through outlining how they can successfully utilise voluntary assistance for specific aspects of the required work. The Appointed Supplier will be expected to have a good working knowledge of current cataloguing practices, processes and standards and how volunteers can best work with archive professionals to produce high quality cataloguing appropriate to the needs of the archive's stakeholders.
