The DRS Modernization project is a multi-year effort to revitalize infrastructure and services preserving Harvard’s digital scholarly resources and institutional records for future use by faculty, students, administrators, and staff, furthering the University’s research, teaching, and learning mission and safeguarding its legacy. The project is an intense collaborative effort orchestrated across the Harvard Library, school libraries, and commercial vendors, and/or open-source development partners.

The person in this role is expected to quickly demonstrate a high degree of familiarity with digital preservation priorities and workflows.
