Kitching completed a BA in Modern History at Durham University in 1967, followed by a PhD from the same institution in 1970.[2] He was awarded the Alexander Prize from the Royal Historical Society in 1973.[1] He began his career as an Assistant Keeper at the Public Record Office (PRO), where he worked until 1982, before joining the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts (HMC) as Assistant Secretary.[1] He served in this role until 1992, when he became Secretary in succession to Brian Smith.
In April 2003, the HMC merged with the PRO to form The National Archives: Kitching moved to the new institution before retiring a year later.[1]
