Vacancy for Curator of Born Digital Special Collections at Vanderbilt University

Full-Time

The Curator of Born Digital Special Collections is a member of Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) at Vanderbilt University and is responsible for the active curation, management, and long-term preservation of born-digital and digitized materials within SCUA collections. This position delivers Vanderbilt’s ability to collect, preserve, and provide access to unique contemporary digital materials that are critical to teaching, learning, and research in Vanderbilt that might otherwise be lost.

Reporting to the Associate Director for Digital Special Collections, the Curator collaborates daily with SCUA subject specialists, librarians, faculty, donors, and campus IT colleagues, to acquire, curate, preserve and provide access to born-digital and digitized manuscript collections spanning literature, journalism, politics, music, oral history, medicine, and social activism; the curator collaborates closely with the University Archivist and university administrators to preserve the digital records of Vanderbilt University, including university websites, Board of Trust and Chancellors records.

The Curator will work with SCUA curators, library staff, faculty, and external donors, to acquire, accession, arrange, describe, preserve, and provide access to born-digital materials in a wide range of formats across all SCUA collecting areas. In close collaboration with colleagues in Library Technology and Assessment Services (LTAS) and other library units, the Curator will lead the management, ongoing implementation and use of digital preservation and digital forensics technologies within SCUA, including the further development and management of Vanderbilt University’s web archiving program. The Curator will oversee the long-term preservation and accessibility of Vanderbilt’s growing collection of digital surrogates created through SCUA’s significant investments in digitization for access, including both paper-based and audiovisual collections. In addition, the Curator will contribute to national and international digital preservation initiatives through the library’s participation in the Digital Preservation Coalition alongside organizations such as the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the Library of Congress.
