Academic researchers

Lecturers, professors and teachers are often expected to get their hands dusty in the archives during the summer months.

 

However, academics spend much of the summer juggling non-research related tasks, from teaching preparation to PhD supervision, giving them little time to focus on their own research. 

 

According to one survey, many academics struggle to visit the archives for more than thirty days over the course of an academic year – far less time than is necessary to produce a ground-breaking piece of work.

 

If you're a lecturer or professor who needs archival materials for your next monograph or research article, let the Archive Mole team help.

Students

Lack of time in the archives is a major problem for postgraduate researchers (PGRs), many of whom lack confidence in their ability to complete their dissertation/thesis on time.

​

As they approach the end of their studies, Master's degree and PhD students fear that they have not conducted enough research or visited a sufficient amount of archives.

​

It is no coincidence that anxiety levels among PGRs are higher than those among working professionals, and that 42% of doctoral students believe that it is the 'norm' to develop a mental health problem during their studies.

If you're an undergraduate, Master's degree, or doctoral student, let Archive Mole help with your research.

Early career researchers

Lack of time in the archives is a major problem for those who have completed their PhD but have not yet obtained a full-time academic or research post.

 

Although ECRs are often employed on insecure, fixed-term contracts or in non-academic posts for which no time is allocated for research trips, they are still expected to ‘publish or perish’—which requires extensive archival research—if they hope to achieve their dream of becoming a full-time academic.
