Processing Archivist (3-year term)
Apply online in Workday; apply by January 12, 2025 for priority consideration
Reporting to the Head of Technical Services, the Processing Archivist facilitates acquisition, processing, discoverability, and access for the rare and unique holdings of Small Special Collections. This position will primarily be responsible for arrangement and description of University Archives and manuscript collections relating to Virginia history and politics. The archivist will utilize ArchivesSpace to create finding aids for online publication to full national standards and will serve a regular reference desk shift.

About the Small Special Collections Library:

Staff in the Small Special Collections Library steward an extraordinary collection documenting American history, particularly early American; American and English literature; bibliography, book history, and book arts; African American studies; the built environment; history of the state of Virginia and the University of Virginia; and material culture. As significant as our collections are, we recognize that there are silences and gaps in the documentary record. The ideal candidates for these positions are intellectually curious and eager to learn the stories revealed in our collections, to build upon them, and to share them widely.

Thank you for your interest!
