Project Archivist, Corner Co-op Nursery School, Brookline, MA
Posted January 21, 2021
Description:
The Corner Co-op Nursery School seeks a Project Archivist to help us plan how to inventory, organize, and access our collection of documents, organizational records and photographs, in preparation for our 50th anniversary in June 2022. This would be the first step in the process, generating a report which helps us assess what needs to be done and how it
can be achieved. We have 20-30 boxes of materials which are loosely organized and stored onsite.
The school is presently meeting offsite, so the archivist would have safe access to the materials, and could set their own hours. The school director would be available to answer any questions, but does not have an archiving background. We would hope to have this portion of the project completed by May 1, 2021, but the timing is flexible. There will be a stipend of $150. For more information about our school, visit www.cornercoop.org.
