Investigating Colonial Port Development through the Lloyd’s Register Archive

https://www.nauticalarchaeologysociety.org/colonial-port-development

Be part of an exciting new research project uncovering the hidden stories of colonial ports in Australia and Pakistan and help bring maritime history to life for future generations.

One paid position and lots of volunteer roles available. See below for more details.

Investigating Colonial Port Development through the Lloyd’s Register Archive is a unique international collaboration exploring how ports shaped trade, migration, communities, and everyday life across the colonial world. Using the world-renowned Lloyd’s Register Archive, volunteer researchers will investigate historic harbour infrastructure, ship movements, cargoes, and the people who worked and travelled through these ports.

Whether you are an aspiring researcher, heritage enthusiast, student, or citizen scientist, this project offers a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience in maritime archaeological research while contributing to ground-breaking international heritage work.

Participants will receive for free:

  • Online training in maritime archaeological and archival research
  • Access to digitised historical records and research materials
  • Mentorship from international heritage professionals
  • Opportunities to collaborate across Australia, Pakistan, and the UK
  • Experience contributing to real-world historical investigations

The project is a collaboration of the Australasian Institute for Maritime Archaeology and MaritimEA Research, with support from the Nautical Archaeology Society and funding from Lloyd’s Register Foundation.

While most of the research will take place online, there will be a group of UK-based volunteers working directly with the Lloyd’s Register Archive in London, helping uncover and contextualise materials that are often difficult to access internationally.

This one-year feasibility study aims to lay the groundwork for future citizen-science fieldwork, wider public interpretation projects, and new approaches to sharing maritime heritage with local communities around the world.

Sea War Museum Jutland & Havets Hemmeligheder are looking for a new general manager

Sea War Museum Jutland S / I is looking for a new general manager for our museum universe in Thyborøn.

We are not necessarily looking for a traditional museum profile. On the other hand, we are looking for a person with energy, insight and desire to contribute to developing a very special place, where history, experiences, volunteerism and entrepreneurial spirit meet.

The museums in Thyborøn today include both Sea War Museum Jutland and the new museum center Havets Hemmeligheder with several exhibitions and theme universes under the same roof. Together, we are one of Denmark’s most distinctive maritime museum- and experience environments – created without public operational support and driven by passion, volunteerism and the desire to tell the stories that others often overlook.

As general manager, you will be responsible for the daily operation and development of the museums in close cooperation with the director/founder, board of directors, employees and volunteers.

The position spans widely and combines:

• management

• Tours and communication

• Operation and development of museum shop and ticket sales

• Coordination of events and activities

• Updating the website and social media

• Practical administration and financial follow-up

• Contribute to the development of new exhibitions and experiences

Who are you?

We imagine that you:

• is structured and actionable

• thrive in an environment with many different tasks

• is good for people and relationships

• can create engagement among volunteers and employees

• has an eye for guest experiences and development

• think possibilities rather than limitations

You don’t have to be a historian or a museum graduate.

Experience from, for example:

• experience economy

• turisme

• kultur

• event

• detail

• management

• administration

can be at least as relevant.

The most important thing is that you want to take responsibility and contribute to the development of something really special.

We offer

• A very independent and versatile position

• Opportunity to make your own mark on development

• An unconventional and passionate environment

• A strong community of volunteers

• A workplace with short decision paths and big ambitions
