    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • My role consisted mainly of archiving old pamphlets published by the foundation, however this was usually balanced by other tasks such as researching, editing and proof reading throughout the day. I was given the freedom to move onto different tasks if I needed to take a break from archiving, and to learn more about the work of the foundation and the topics that they focused on.
