The British Library is much more than a library and we have roles across a huge range of disciplines. We have big ambitions and we're looking for people with a range of skills to help us achieve our goals.
We build, curate and preserve the UK's national collection of published, written and digital content.
At The British Library, we want to make intellectual heritage accessible for everyone. As our 50th anniversary is fast approaching, we have created a strategic plan to define our ambitions and goals for the time that we reach this milestone in 2023. This plan is called Living Knowledge.
Living Knowledge is split into six main purposes: custodianship, research, business, culture learning and international. Each of these purposes work together to help actualise the vision of The British Library being one of the leading institutions of its kind.
