Web Developer

We are seeking a talented Web Developer or team to develop and deliver our new Hidden Histories website.

Hidden Histories is a three-year project revitalising access to the Beaford Archive, creating new ways for people to respond and react to it via the web, as well as ways for people to add their own material.

The Beaford Archive is a photographic record of people and community in rural north Devon containing more than 80,000 images covering the 120-year period 1870 to 1990. According to the Royal Photographic Society, it is “…a unique body of work, unparalleled, at least in this country, for its scale and quality”. However, few of these images are currently accessible to the public. Beaford Arts has secured funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to carry out a major conservation and digitisation exercise that will curate and publish online around 10,000 unseen images that together illustrate the late 20th Century social history of rural north Devon.

The Web Developer will work with us over the course of the project to develop an exciting website that will host the digitised content, act as a gallery for new artistic responses to the archive, enable access to the full catalogue of the collections, and support user generated contributions.
