Job Summary:

The Barnard Archives and Special Collections is seeking applications for two part-time fellowships working under the supervision of the Directors of the Archives and Special Collections and with the guidance of the Records Coordination and Processing Archivist. This year, the Archives Fellows will gain hands-on experience in archival processing, outreach, and instruction, with a focus on processing institutional records and subsequently producing research guides, lesson plans, and/or workshops based on these collections.

Job Description:

About the positions: Fellows will start their time at Barnard by learning how to process collections and accruals using ArchivesSpace, focusing on institutional records of the College (including, for example, records of academic and administrative committees, the Board of Trustees, Buildings and Grounds, and/or campus labor unions). 

Through this work, fellows will gain experience with and acquire basic skills related to:

• Accessioning, appraisal, basic conservation, arrangement, and description of material in all formats, including analog, paper, digital, audiovisual materials, photographs, web archives (participants may process upwards of 50 linear feet, as well as re-processing and enhancing description for collections)

• Revision and creation of processing workflows and documentation

• Processing accruals and updating legacy finding aids

• Contributing to records coordination and records management workflows

After building a foundation in archival processing, fellows will continue working with College institutional records, bringing their familiarity and expertise into reference, outreach, and instruction projects, which may include: 

• Fielding reference requests from researchers

• Developing resources for researchers, such as research guides, bibliographies, tutorials, and how-to's that leverage Barnard's  institutional records collections

• Designing lesson plans for workshops or class visits to the archives focusing on critical and close readings of institutional records

The fellowship is intended to give participants a foundation in processing as well as  an introduction to reference and/or instruction work. Participants will be provided with training on processing, reference, and instruction work; meet regularly with full-time archives staff; and are expected to work independently and manage their time to complete tasks. Applicants do not need to have prior experience processing collections or working in archives in order to apply.

About the collections, the Archives, and our office:

The Barnard Archives and Special Collections consist of over 450 distinct collections. We document the history of the College and collect special collections materials that relate to broader histories of feminism and advance the mission of the College by collaborating in teaching and learning. Highlights of our administrative records include our Dean’s Office and President’s Office collections (collectively documenting 130 years of the leadership of the College); departmental records such as the Dance Department, the Botany Department, and Physical Education and Athletics collections; the records and collections of the Barnard Center for Research on Women; and faculty committees records, which document the evolution of the Barnard curriculum and faculty governance structures. Highlights of our collections more broadly include the Ntozake Shange Papers, the Sabra Moore NYC Women’s Art Movement Collection, the Kathryn Kolbert Planned Parenthood v. Casey records, Special Collections zines from the Barnard Zine Library, and many more.

The Barnard Archives commits to work that is equitable and anti-oppressive, and encourages and supports work which centers voices, knowledge, and memory-making practices historically excluded from the archival record. Our community agreements describe some of the ways in which we are committed to upholding values of inclusivity, privacy, and support.

The archives fellowship is primarily in-person, at the Barnard Archives and Special Collections on Barnard’s campus (at 3009 Broadway, New York, NY 10027), with opportunities for remote work as possible. Our offices are accessible to individuals with mobility disabilities. We have bathroom facilities available for all gender identities.

Preferred demonstrable skills include: desire to work both collaboratively and independently; excellent organizational, research, and communication skills; critical analysis of archives or the archives profession (e.g. bringing a critical race, feminist, disability justice, and/or queer theoretical lens to archival work); and strong attention to detail. We welcome applicants to discuss how these preferred skills have been utilized and honed in areas of their life outside of their professional or academic work.
