    Description

    Overview:


    Tufts Archival Research Center (TARC) is the archives and manuscript repository of Tufts University and is open to the public.

    TARC's team of professional archivists provides stewardship for the Tufts University Archives, nearly three hundred manuscript collections, and other permanently valuable physical and digital archival materials.

    TARC staff also assist Tufts students, faculty, and staff with recordkeeping activities, through records management and digital library services. TARC's stewardship responsibilities are mandated by the Board of Trustees, as outlined in the University Records Policy. TARC is a unit of Tufts central administration, serving all schools and reporting to the Office of the Provost.

    In transferring new material the Records and Accessioning Archivist records information about provenance, original order, or context of creation gained during communications with the donor.

    Following an accessioning as processing model, the Records and Accessioning Archivist creates or oversees creation of initial description for all holdings, ensuring responsible administrative and physical control and basic intellectual access for all material at time of accession, and providing the infrastructure upon which any future archival work will be built.


    What We're Looking For:

    Basic Requirements:
    Knowledge and experience as typically acquired through the completion of an ALA-accredited Master's degree with concentration in archives management and 2-3 years of related experience

    Demonstrated knowledge of archival theory and practice, including experience processing archival records

    Excellent supervisory and organizational skills and ability to plan, coordinate, and implement complex projects

    Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with a variety of staff in a rapidly changing environment

    Excellent written and oral communication skills


    Preferred Qualifications:
    1-2 years of experience working in an active university records program
