Photo Archivist, Boston Globe, Boston, MA

Posted April 30, 2018

The position is technically part-time, 37.5 hours a week, $14/hour, with no benefits. The position reports to Kim Chapin, the Deputy Director of Photography. The archivist works with two other, full-time, photo archivists who juggle many other needs of the photo department. Some flexibility in working hours is possible depending on the candidate and work load.

The position entails pulling prints and negatives from our archives, scanning them into our archive and adding researched metadata using multiple programs. The photos are then uploaded to the Getty images site so they can be licensed. It is imperative that the archivist has strong research skills and attention to detail. It also involves assorted tasks as needed by the department.

The position will be available late May.

Resumes must be sent to current photo-archivist Olivia Nadel’s email address at [email protected].
