Further Archaeology opportunities 2010
Jul 24, 2010 at 02:16 AM

Are you interested in London’s past?

Do you want to discover how to research the history of your local area?

The Council for British Archaeology (CBA) London is looking for volunteers to take part in a short research project starting in July 2010.

This project will look at key developments in London’s history and examine past issues of social, economic and environmental change that still challenge the city today.

The project will develop an event for children, families and the local community, based on the volunteer research, to be held as part of the Mayor of London’s Story of London Festival in October 2010.

Volunteers will receive training in research techniques and the creation of educational materials for the Story of London event.

All research participants are asked to commit to the equivalent of between five and ten days volunteer time on the project during August and September.

Reasonable travel and lunch expenses will be covered.

For further details and an application form please contact Lucy Grimshaw, CBA London Assistant, by Friday 30th July. Email:

This project is supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund.
