Smith College Special Collections Two Open Positions
Elizabeth Myers
Smith College Special Collections is excited to announce two open permanent positions: Research Services Archivist and Accessioning Archivist. Both of these roles are critical to the work of the Smith College Special Collections, which includes the College Archives, Mortimer Rare Book Collection, and Sophia Smith Collection of women’s history. Both positions’ work will span the three repositories.
The Research Services Archivist, a core member of the public services staff, is primarily responsible for executing and supervising reference services across Special Collections. This includes the ongoing maintenance and development of reference policies and procedures that deliver a coordinated, consistent, and complete reference experience for all patrons.
The Accessioning Archivist’s primary responsibilities are to execute, maintain, and improve the business processes by which materials enter Special Collections’ management. As an integral part of the technical and digital services staff, the successful candidate will oversee the preparation of new acquisitions for access as soon after the transfer as possible.
