working papers and correspondence of Aby Warburg and his successors as
well as of a number of closely associated scholars including Frances A.

readers with enquiries and with their research (this may include

to readers and reshelving after use; photocopying in line with regulations
for photocopying of Archive material; assisting with orders for
photographic material and liaison with the Photographic Collection.

The appointment will be to Level 3 of the scale for clerical and related
administrative staff. The scale currently runs from £17,877-£21,398 per
annum for full-time staff including London Allowance. The salary for the
