Archive Documentary Editor Needed

I’m assembling an educational, historically focused documentary built entirely from vintage photos, film reels, and other archival assets. The tone must stay serious and strictly factual, so every cut, transition, and graphic needs to support clarity rather than dramatic flair.

Here’s what I need from you: ingest and organise the source material, clean and stabilise the older footage, craft a tight narrative structure, add on-screen identifiers or lower-thirds where necessary, balance and sweeten audio, and deliver a polished master file along with the editable project files. If you work in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or a comparable NLE that handles high-resolution scans smoothly, that’s ideal.

I will supply the digitised archive material plus any voice-over recordings and reference scripts. Your job is to weave these elements into a coherent, engaging film that stands on solid historical accuracy. Kindly outline your relevant experience with archival projects and let me know your typical turnaround time for a first cut so we can set a realistic schedule together.
