Trainees will be employed by The National Archives and seconded to one of the following host archives for 15 months:
E-Preservation West Consortium • Dorset History Centre • Gloucestershire Archives • South West Heritage Trust (Devon/Somerset) • Warwickshire County Record Office
Social Advocacy Consortium • Amnesty International, International Secretariat • The Guardian Foundation • London School of Economics and Political Science • University of Bristol
