What are Archive Assistants?

Archive Assistants are professionals who help organize, maintain, and preserve historical documents, records, and other archival materials. They assist archivists in cataloging items, retrieving records for users, and ensuring that materials are properly stored for long-term preservation. Archive Assistants may also help with digitization projects and provide support to researchers who need access to specific documents. Their role is essential in keeping archives accessible and well-maintained for both current and future use.

What are some common challenges Archive Assistants face when managing large collections, and how can they overcome them?

Archive Assistants often encounter challenges related to organizing, cataloging, and preserving a high volume of diverse materials. Managing large collections requires strong attention to detail, effective time management, and the ability to use archival databases efficiently. To overcome these challenges, it's important to follow standardized procedures, regularly update catalog records, and collaborate closely with archivists and other team members. Additionally, keeping up with best practices in preservation and digital archiving can help maintain the integrity and accessibility of collections.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Archive Assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Archive Assistant, you need strong organizational abilities, attention to detail, and a background in information management or a related field, often supported by relevant qualifications or experience. Familiarity with cataloguing software, digital archiving systems, and database management is typically required. Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills set outstanding Archive Assistants apart. These skills ensure the accurate preservation, retrieval, and accessibility of important records and materials for organizations and researchers.

Job description

GoComics is filling internships to support a digital archive quality project. Interns will help audit our comics archive, identify missing or subpar content, and support efforts to locate and secure the correct assets so our archives remain complete, accurate, and consistently high-quality.

This internship will be 20 hours per week. It will run for a period of 6 months with an opportunity for extension. Starting pay of $17 per hour. It can be filled in either a hybrid/onsite or remote capacity.

What you’ll do:

  • Audit comic strip archives from each feature’s start date through present day.
  • Log missing strips by date and identify suspected duplicates
  • Flag low-quality images (low resolution, illegible text, scanning artifacts) and other issues (mis-dates, continuity/coloring errors).
  • Support content replacement efforts by helping identify sources (creators, syndicate/internal servers, books) and tracking outreach/status.
  • Assist with content uploads and post-upload QA spot checks as needed in coordination with our internal team.
  • Maintain clear audit logs and provide weekly progress updates, including time tracking by feature.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong attention to detail and comfort with repetitive review work.
  • Clear, organized documentation and communication skills.
  • Basic spreadsheet proficiency and reliable file organization habits.

Nice to have:

  • Adobe Photoshop experience (basic image review/cleanup familiarity is helpful).
  • Familiarity with image quality concepts (resolution, artifacts, legibility, compression issues).
  • Interest in archives, metadata, digital publishing, editorial QA, or content operations.
