Expert users

A limited number of expert users will be recruited to join a panel of users with additional privileges. Using their own computer, they will be able to comment on, add to and index material in the Archive. Over time the detailed research notes added by our group of experts will become a valuable addition to the Archive and increase its value as a research tool. In return for helping us index material they will have access to higher resolution images and they will be alerted whenever other changes are made to files on which they have commented themselves.

Experts will need to provide more detailed registration information, as we need to be sure that any new data added to our catalogue is authoritative and not libellous. To protect the archive, all experts will need to be recognised by the trustees, who may require additional information. In all cases the trustees’ decision on membership of the expert group (including discontinuation of such membership) is final and need not be explained.

Apply for Expert Status

Although experts are normally invited to join our panel we do welcome applications from those who may not be known to all the trustees. All invitations and applications are subject to close and confidential scrutiny in order to protect the Archives property and reputation.

In order for us to consider your application, please fill in the form as completely as possible and, if you have a CV (résumé) please forward that separately to info@millsarchive.com with a brief reference to your application.
