Project Archivist, The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, NY
Posted February 23, 2018
The Studio Museum in Harlem is the nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally, and internationally and for work that has been inspired and influenced by black culture. It is a site for the dynamic exchange of ideas about art and society. The Studio Museum has earned a reputation as a leader in the contemporary arts arena and is internationally known for its catalytic role in promoting the work of artists of African descent.
Reporting to the Studio Museum’s Registrar and working in close collaboration with the Lead Consulting Archivist, the Project Archivist will coordinate the processing of The Studio Museum in Harlem’s estimated 850 cubic feet of institutional records and create an Encoded Archival Description (EAD) finding aid. The Project Archivist will work in consultation with the Consulting Archivist to define and follow processing standards and plans, create standardized descriptions, and ensure consistency and quality for the overall project.
