About the role

About the British Library’s International Team and the Endangered Archives Programme (EAP)
Over the past 8 years, the British Library’s International Office has worked with partners around the world to advance knowledge and mutual understanding in a spirit of mutually beneficial reciprocity. This work includes multiple collaborations, projects and relationships.

The Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) facilitates the digitisation of archives around the world that are in danger of destruction, neglect or physical deterioration. Thanks to generous funding from Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin, we have provided grants to more than 500 projects in 90 countries worldwide, in over 100 languages and scripts.

The EAP Regional Network Hubs were established in 2022 as a framework for international training and outreach whereby the British Library works with regional partners across the globe to co-design and deliver online and onsite training opportunities for organisations, researchers, archivists, librarians and anyone interested in protecting archival material at risk. The following universities act as our regional hubs:
EAP Asia Hub: Jadavpur University, India
EAP Africa Hub: National University of Lesotho, Lesotho
EAP MENA Hub: American University in Beirut, Lebanon
EAP Latin-American Hub: Pontificia Universidad Cat lica del Per , Peru
EAP Caribbean Hub: University of the West Indies, Mona Library, Jamaica
