The British Library holds one of the most important collections of

Hellenic culture outside Greece and Cyprus. As a member of the South East
European team you will help to build the Modern Greek collections through
acquisition and donation and seek to make this intellectual heritage
accessible to anyone, for research, inspiration and enjoyment. You will
manage and curate the post-1850 physical and digital collections, and be
responsible for contemporary acquisitions from the Greek-speaking countries
of Europe. You will assist those using the Modern Greek collections across
all periods and will try to encourage their use both on site and online.

the Library’s overall strategic priorities.
You will have a first degree-level in a relevant subject area, degree level
knowledge of Modern Greek or equivalent, and a willingness to develop
further linguistic and cultural knowledge relating to the South East
European area as required. You will have experience of relevant work in a
research library or similar institution and, ideally, a library
qualification or post-graduate degree in a discipline relevant for the
role, such as Modern Greek, Literature, History or Politics.
