Collections Photographer, Northeast Document Conservation Center, Andover, MA

Posted April 5, 2023

NEDCC (Northeast Document Conservation Center) is hiring a full-time Collections Photographer to join the Imaging Services department. Founded in 1973, NEDCC is a not-for-profit conservation and preservation services center, supporting the collections of its private and institutional clients through book, paper, and photograph conservation, digital reformatting, and preservation assistance. The successful candidate will be joining a team of experienced and productive Collections Photographers and will benefit from working alongside conservators and specialists dedicated to the treatment and care of the range of objects the Imaging Services department digitizes.

The Collections Photographer will be responsible for the digitization of the extensive and diverse collections held by NEDCC’s institutional and private clients. These include virtually all photographic media, particularly nitrate, acetate, polyester, and glass-plate negatives and positives, photographic prints, and cased photographs; bound and loose manuscript material; rare books and illuminated manuscripts; and large format objects like maps and blueprints. To this end, the Imaging Services department utilizes PhaseOne medium format camera systems; copy stands; custom stations for imaging large format, transmissive, and bound materials; Broncolor strobes; an Epson wide format printer; Eizo displays; and a color managed workflow. While we are primarily Mac-based we also use PCs, and maintain our own network, server, and archive.  

The minimum salary for an entry-level candidate for this position is $43,000. Please note that this is a minimum salary, not a range.
