METRO is seeking a design professional who will develop a visual identity and style guide for the Digital Culture of Metropolitan New York (DCMNY) collaborative repository environment. This work will include development of a logotype, color palette, and a digital and print usage and style guide that includes a selection of premade fonts. To accomplish their work, the designer will lead an inclusive and participatory process by engaging the staff at METRO, and an advisory council composed of NYC professionals engaged in digital repository work. Background Digital Culture of Metropolitan New York (DCMNY) provides online access to digital collections of libraries, archives, museums and historical societies located in and around New York City. Participating institutions are located in the following counties of New York State: Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Westchester. Through DCMNY, akin to a community garden, METRO endeavors to cultivate sustainable digital spacemaking, cultural heritage resource exchange, access to collections materials from a spectrum of diverse viewpoints, and research support for individuals seeking information and resources related to Metropolitan New York’s history and unique communities.  The collections include photographs, maps, letters, postcards, manuscripts, scrapbooks, programs from events, catalogues, memorabilia and ephemera, and more. New collections are being added on an ongoing basis, and contributors are also adding new material to existing collections. The distinctive stewardship styles and descriptive practices of each contributing institution are respected in DCMNY, moving towards the longer term goal of a more equitable mixture of perspectives in online digital culture heritage spaces.   DCMNY runs on the Archipelago platform, an open source digital repository system. The development of Archipelago is being supported by the METRO, alongside a community of professional partners and open source repositories enthusiasts. The Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) serves as the institutional home of Archipelago, and also acts as a hosted service provider, trainer, and consultancy for institutions who need assistance getting started, customizing, or maintaining their repositories. METRO is one of nine regional library councils serving New York State. These library councils were chartered in New York State Education law almost 50 years ago, and have served libraries, archives, and museums (LAM) in myriad ways over this period.
