I am Aimy Stevens, the new Archives Apprentice at Edge Hill University working towards the Level 7 Archivist and Records Manager apprenticeship. The apprenticeship offers a technical training route into the archives sector, instead of the traditional requirement of a Master’s degree. Over the course of 42 months, I’ll gain the skills needed to become a qualified archivist. I’m especially interested in film archives, and Edge Hill has some very exciting collections related to film that I am looking forward to working with!
