Maintain documentation of processing activities, collection status, and workflow metrics.
Support reporting requirements related to collection processing progress and digitization activities.
Assist with collection surveys, inventories, and backlog reduction initiatives.

1–2 years of professional or internship experience working in archives, special collections, or cultural heritage institutions.
Knowledge of archival principles including arrangement, description, and preservation practices.
Familiarity with archival description standards such as DACS and metadata schemas such as EAD or Dublin Core.
Experience creating finding aids and working with archival collections.
