Curator, Image Collections
& Fieldwork Archives
Dumbarton Oaks Research Library seeks a Curator to direct
the operations of the newly re-organized Image Collections
& Fieldwork Archives. The ICFA will
meet Dumbarton Oaks’ goals to increase the depth and breadth of its image
collections and to provide digital access to all
images and accompanying data. Dumbarton Oaks Research Library collections focus on three areas of scholarship:
Byzantine studies, garden & landscape studies, and Pre-Columbian studies. The
largest part of ICFA’s collections
(500,000 images) currently documents Byzantine art, architecture, and
archaeological excavations. Growth of garden & landscape images, and
Pre-Columbian images is anticipated. Coordination of work with museum staff who
curate Pre-Columbian images and library staff who collaborate
on collection development for all three subjects is essential.
Required: MLS or M.A. in Art History; undergraduate major in Art History
or archaeology preferred.
Experience managing image and/or archival collections, in particular experience
with digital tools that provide enhanced access to paper-based collections.
Full
position description is available at www.doaks.org.
Salary $55,000+, depending on experience. Application deadline is March 15,
2007.
