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
Processing accruals and updating existing finding aids
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. Participants in the fellowship will plan and direct their own independent projects, or may also elect to continue with processing work (or build a project based around processing).
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. Highlights of the collections include the Ntozake Shange Papers, the Sabra Moore NYC Women’s Art Movement Collection, the Kathryn Kolbert Planned Parenthood v. 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.
The archives fellowship is primarily in-person, at the Barnard Archives and Special Collections on Barnard’s campus (at 3009 Broadway, New York, NY 10027), with opportunities for remote work as possible. Our offices are accessible to individuals with mobility disabilities. We have bathroom facilities available for all gender identities. We are open Monday-Friday, 10 AM - 6 PM.
While employed at Barnard, you will be given access to the Library’s resources.
Skills, Qualifications & Requirements:
To Qualify:
Must be currently enrolled in a graduate-level program in archival management, library sciences, or related fields.
Must be available to work weekdays.
Must make a commitment to work, on average, 10 hours of work a week, with time off for winter and spring vacation, and increased hours if desired in early summer or throughout the fellowship. Work schedules are flexible and can be adjusted as needed–for example, participants can choose to work more hours and complete the fellowship in a compressed time frame.
Preferred demonstrable skills include:
Desire to work both collaboratively and independently; excellent organizational, research, and communication skills; critical analysis of archives or the archives profession (e.g. bringing a critical race, feminist, disability justice, and/or queer theoretical lens to archival work); and strong attention to detail. We welcome applicants to discuss how these preferred skills have been utilized and honed in areas of their life outside of their professional or academic work.
The Barnard Archives especially encourages applications from women, people of color, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ people, and individuals from other underrepresented groups. Barnard College is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is actively committed to creating a diverse and inclusive community.
Please submit resume and cover letter with your application via the Barnard Careers site by August 16, 2022. Questions can be directed to archives@barnard.edu.

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.

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.
