You've missed out a couple of years of history there - British Museum,
Derby, ARKive...
It's worth noting that the British Library WIR programme was set up
and negotiated by myself as a volunteer. It took no Chapter or WMF
funding, hardly any staff support, and to date had the highest
remuneration package all WIR projects that I am aware of, globally.
Good points. Also WMUK was not involved in the interview process; and the
advance notice to the community didn't really tally with what they were
looking for. (Plus you were supposed to type all your O-levels/GCSEs into
their system. and bring the certificates to the interview. I did skip the
latter, on a hunch.)
