National Archives, as outlined in <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/our-role/plans-policies-performance-and-projects/our-plans/archives-for-everyone/" target="_blank"

development opportunities for the individuals involved.</p> <p>Professional Fellowships will be structured around a short-term residency at The National Archives, for Fellows from an RLUK member institution, and to an RLUK member institution, for Fellows from The National Archives, underpinned by a longer period of peer-to-peer mentoring and knowledge sharing. Professional Fellowships will address a professional-practice question, contribute to a wider piece of work, and facilitate shared learning between The National Archives and individual RLUK members.

The scheme is designed to enable colleagues to place their work within a wider professional and organisational setting, to benefit from the expertise of colleagues at The National Archives (for RLUK fellows) and at RLUK institutions (for TNA fellows), and to shape and support their own professional development.</p> <p>Professional Fellowships are not secondments and colleagues will be expected to continue in their substantive role within their sponsoring (home) organisation.</p> <p>Professional Fellowships should lead to tangible outcomes and deliverables that support the Fellow in their substantive role, enhance the operations of their sponsoring organisation, strengthen the relationship between The National Archives and RLUK, and are of benefit to the wider library and archive sector. They should also enable the sharing of best practice and underpin knowledge exchange.</p> <p>Professional Fellows will be monitored throughout their Fellowship to ensure that they receive adequate support from their sponsoring and host organisations, undertake the activities in their CPD plan, and successfully deliver the outcomes of their Fellowship. More information on the monitoring and evaluation of Professional Fellowships can be found in the <a href="https://www.rluk.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Professional-Fellowship-Scheme-Guidance_2025-2026.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheme guidance document</a>.</p> </div><div class="fusion-clearfix"></div></div></div><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last" style="--awb-padding-top:20px;--awb-padding-right:20px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-padding-left:20px;--awb-overflow:hidden;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#0c4363;--awb-border-top:2px;--awb-border-right:2px;--awb-border-bottom:2px;--awb-border-left:2px;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-border-radius:15px 15px 15px 15px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy"><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-5"><h2><span style="color: #0c4363;"><strong>Who can apply?</strong></span></h2> <p>Any TNA or RLUK member employee may apply for a Professional Fellowship if they:</p> <ul> <li>Are currently employed by The National Archives or an RLUK member on a permanent basis;</li> </ul> <p>Or</p> <ul> <li>Are currently employed by The National Archives or RLUK member on a fixed-term contract, where the end date of the contract exceeds the proposed end date of the Professional Fellowship by at least three months;</li> <li>Have been employed by The National Archives or the RLUK member for a period of at least 12 months prior to the date on which the Professional Fellowship commences.

Applicants from within The National Archives should also speak to members of Research and Academic Engagement Team regarding their application, and those applying from within an RLUK member, with a member of the RLUK Executive. Please find contact details listed below.</p> <p>Each application should link to one of the following themes:</p> <ul> <li>Sustainability</li> <li>Equality, diversity, inclusion and cultural change</li> <li>Impact, value and affect</li> <li>Rethinking the record</li> </ul> <p>Expressions of Interest (EoIs) in the scheme are now being sought and full applications are invited later in the year.</p> <p>Applicants must complete both an EoI and a full application in order to undertake a Professional Fellowship.

Organisations should support staff in the development of their application to the scheme, ensuring that it supports them in their substantive role and professional development. If an applicant is successful, sponsoring organisations should ensure that staff have adequate time to undertake their Fellowship and that its findings and outcomes can be shared and embedded throughout the organisation.</p> <p><strong>Host organisations:</strong></p> <p>One of the key components of the Professional Fellowship Scheme is a short-term residency within an organisation that is not the Fellow’s home institution. Depending on where the Fellow originates from (i.e. their home organisation), this will be a short-term residency within The National Archives (for Fellows from an RLUK member) or at an RLUK member (for Fellows from The National Archives). It is intended that both the fellow and host organisation will derive significant benefits from the Professional Fellowship Scheme.</p> <p>The envisaged benefits include:</p> <ul> <li>Raising of their respective profiles as centres of expertise;</li> <li>Enable the opening of new strategic conversations that may not otherwise occur;</li> <li>Identify new potential partnerships for joint initiatives or markets for their respective services;</li> <li>Improving corporate processes and procedures through engaging in critical friendship and their contextualisation within a wider organisational setting.</li> </ul> <p>Amongst the responsibilities of host organisations is to provide a named mentor within the organisation who will be responsible for liaising with the Professional Fellow throughout their Fellowship and particularly during their residency.</p> <p><strong>More information about the role and responsibilities of sponsoring and host organisations can be found in the <a

libraries in the UK and Ireland. We aim to optimise the contribution that research libraries and collections make to the economic, technological and cultural success of the UK and Ireland. We are achieving this by working with our members, external institutions and our partners in the community, both nationally and internationally.</p> <p>We are investing in and developing strategic projects, reports and innovations that are fomenting much greater engagement with, and services for, the research community we serve. These are exciting times for the research sector. We believe there is so much more that we can do together to shape collections and services in support of academic excellence.</p> <p><strong>The National Archives:</strong> is a non-ministerial department and the official archive and publisher for the UK Government, and for England and Wales. We are expert advisers in information and records management and are a cultural, academic and heritage organisation. We fulfil a leadership role for the archives sector in England, working in partnership to encourage innovation and sustainability and secure the future of physical and digital records. As an Independent Research Organisation (IRO), we lead high quality research which seeks to innovate our practice, unlock the potential of our collections, and respond to opportunities and challenges in the academic and archive sectors.</p> <p>In March 2019, The National Archives launched its new strategic plan for 2019-23. <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/our-role/plans-policies-performance-and-projects/our-plans/archives-for-everyone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Archives for Everyone</em></a> challenges the organisation to strive to become the 21st Century national archive – inclusive, entrepreneurial and disruptive. It reaffirms engagement with the widest possible audience at the heart of our mission, and sets out the radical changes we need to make to our culture and practice, to realise our full potential. Our ambitious strategic vision for the archives sector, focuses on the needs and potential of archives across the country, and realises in practical and tangible terms their unique relevance in preserving the diversity of our nation’s heritage, along with our <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archives-sector/projects-and-programmes/strategic-vision-for-archives/strategic-priorities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strategic priorities 2023-2025.</a> Our <a href="https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/the-national-archives-research-vision-2024-27.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research Vision</a> sets out our plan of action for 2024-2027.
