As in previous years of the Barnard Archives fellowship, participants will start their time at Barnard by processing collections and accruals using ArchivesSpace. We will then tailor the fellows' work together based on their interests in learning specific skills, working with specific types of materials, or focusing on topical areas.
Collections management and processing work may include:
Accessioning and processing (appraisal, basic conservation, arrangement, and description) of material in all formats (analog, paper, digital), including institutional papers, manuscript collections, photographs and A/V materials, and web archives
Revision and creation of processing workflows and documentation

After building a foundation in archival processing, participants in the fellowship may continue to process larger collections or are encouraged to conceive of and complete independent projects in other areas of archival work with the support of Director and Associate Director and other archives and library staff.
Independent projects will be self-directed by fellowship participants and may include:
Digital collections/UX or metadata work
Outreach and teaching with archives
Collaborative projects with the academic centers
Archival exhibition development and curation
The overall goals of the fellowship will be determined by the participants in conjunction with the Director and Associate Director.

The fellowship is intended to give fellows a foundation in processing and an introduction to other topics in archival work, including reference work, teaching, acquisitions and donor relations, outreach, budgets and advocacy, managing open source software, preservation, and project management.
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 dance and advance the mission of the College by collaborating in teaching and learning.

Casey records, Special Collections zines from the Barnard Zine Library, the records of the Barnard Dance Department, the records and collections of the Barnard Center for Research on Women, 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.

Chief Operations Officer at Libraries Without Borders US
Full Time
ABOUT LIBRARIES WITHOUT BORDERS US
We are the American branch of the global NGO Bibliothèques Sans Frontières (BSF), based in Paris, France. Since 2007, BSF has installed pop-up libraries in 30+ countries: refugee camps in Jordan and Bangladesh, communities in Burundi, Haiti, and Colombia, and, most recently with Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
Since 2014, Libraries Without Borders US (LWB US) has gone where public libraries aren’t and to places where public libraries don’t usually go. We deliver information resources to underserved or unserved communities who, for various reasons, don’t have (or don’t access) their public library. We have partnered with organizations across the country to distribute books and technology and facilitate program delivery in trusted neighborhood institutions and small businesses – turning laundromats, houses of worship, community gardens, abandoned schools, and storm shelters into places for free unstructured learning.
Under the leadership of a new executive director, the organization seeks to scale nationally by partnering with anchor institutions, beginning with public libraries. We will draw on our experience and standardize our expertise to help bring library services to people where they already are – to deliver vital information and resources, and to turn previously underserved or unserved individuals into regular library patrons.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
LWB US seeks a highly organized, strategic, adaptable, detail-oriented, and people-centered leader with a demonstrated commitment to racial and economic justice. We would prefer candidates with experience working in international, political, direct service, or labor organizations or public agencies serving under-resourced communities and/or communities of color.
The COO will be responsible for helping to lead a small team in a changing organization. This includes creating a culture of support, collaboration, accountability, and continuous growth – from staff meetings and retreats to one-on-one check-ins. The COO will work closely with the Executive Director to develop and implement strategies to scale the impact and increase the effectiveness of the organization. This will include partnership development as well as assisting with the manufacture of ed tech tools developed by Bibliothèques Sans Frontières (the Ideas Box, the Ideas Cube, and Kajou) for domestic deployment. With this person on the team, LWB US will be able to leverage its unique perspective and experience to help connect hundreds of underserved communities across the country to the information and learning resources that they need to thrive.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
LWB US is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce. We strive to be a workplace where people thrive by being themselves and are inspired to do their best work every day. We would like to see our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion reflected in the candidate pool for this position.
EXPERIENCE

Program: direct service and management in primary education, out-of-classroom learning, literacy, ELL, and/or public libraries in the United States or abroad.
Budget: management and development in a nonprofit setting, especially familiarity with QuickBooks.
Partnerships: cultivation, management, and implementation of partnerships with nonprofit organizations, private sector firms or public agencies.
Language: Spanish and/or French proficiency preferred but not required.
CORE RESONSIBILITIES
Co-design and implement all programs, including maintaining legacy projects and new initiatives.
Directly manage existing full-time program staff.
With the Executive Director, develop and implement strategic initiatives aimed at increased organizational impact and growth.
Ensure successful execution of future strategic partnerships and programs including but not limited to program design and talent recruitment.
Support the monitoring of data, tracking program progress, and identifying benchmarks for success to advance and improve LWB US programs.
Assist in efforts to domestically manufacture and deploy ed tech tools developed by Bibliothèques Sans Frontières: the Ideas Box, the Ideas Cube, and Kajou.
Oversee the daily management and administration of the organization including but not limited to budgeting, bookkeeping, and accounting.
Represent the organization in public settings and private meetings with future partners and funders.
Coordinate with counterparts at Bibliothèques Sans Frontières to share best practices, methodologies, strategies, and overall organizational goals.
KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Implementation of future programs, within budget.
Effective management of existing programs, within budget.
Professional support for current FTEs.
Recruitment of additional FTEs and contractors, as needed.
WHAT WE OFFER
Salary: $85,000-$95,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications
Benefits: Health insurance (including dental, mental health, vision)
Vacation: 20 days of PTO, including sick days
Professional development: generous annual stipend
401(k) plan with employer match
TRAVEL AND LOCATION
The COO will be expected to travel 10% of the time domestically and, occasionally, overseas, to the Bibliothèques Sans Frontières headquarters in Paris, France.
The position can be remote or based at the LWB US office in Washington, D.C. Some preference will be given to qualified individuals located in or near major urban centers in the Northeast, including but not limited to New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston.
