The coordinator will work with Dominic, the Wikipedian in Residence, in organizing the WikiProject's efforts on-wiki. This might include improving and updating the WikiProject's pages, creation of a better portal for open tasks, promotion of the WikiProject and current and future initiatives (like the DYK and featured article challenges), documenting our progress, tagging and assessing articles, and generally serving as the main point of contact and organizer for the WikiProject. New ideas to make the project work better for Wikipedia are encouraged. Our goal is for the WikiProject to be a sustainable collaboration by the Wikipedians, not run by the National Archives alone.

The role calls for good communication and design skills, and additional experience, such as in other WikiProjects, Wikipedia's many noticeboards, the DYK, GA, and FA processes and article-writing more generally, images and Commons, template coding, or Wikisource would all be useful.
