Full Job Description

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Archivist will manage, preserve, and make accessible our valuable collection of transportation artifacts, records, and documents. This position will replace the current Archives Manager position.

The specific scope, goals, objectives, and evaluation criteria in relation to the duties and responsibilities of the position during any period will be identified in a work plan to be developed jointly by the Archivist and Executive Director. It is expected that this work plan will be periodically reviewed and updated.

2. Arrangement and Description: Organize and classify archival materials into logical systems (finding aids and catalogs) to facilitate easy retrieval and access.

3. Preservation and Conservation: Implement best practices for the physical preservation and maintenance of diverse materials, including paper records, photographs, audio/visual recordings, and electronic data. Implement recommendations in the Collections Assessment for Preservation report dated December 2023.

The Archivist will work with volunteers and organize work sessions as well as submit articles about our collection for our biannual magazine, Trolley Fare.

7. Policy and Administration: Develop and implement policies and procedures for the collection, storage, and retrieval of materials, and manage budgets and supervise staff as required.

8. Perform other duties that are consistent with the position. As part of this duty and responsibility, it is important to recognize that the Museum’s management team is a small group and it will be necessary, from time to time, to provide support and assistance to other members of the team during the performance of their duties and responsibilities.

POSITION CHARACTERISTICS:

This is a full-time exempt position that may require some weekend and evening hours as directed by Museum management or as necessary to perform the duties and responsibilities of the position. The position also requires some standing, walking, climbing, and lifting.
