Archives Center, National Museum of American History
Smithsonian Institution
Washington, DC
The Archives Center at the National Museum of American History is a special collection of personal papers, business records, ephemera, photographs, recorded sound, and moving images occupying some 25,000 feet. The collections are nationally recognized in the areas of the history of advertising and marketing, technology, invention, music, and several other topical areas in American history. Each year, the Center serves more than 400 on-site researchers and thousands of remote requests, contributing to academic scholarship, museum exhibitions, and public education. The Archives Center encourages staff members' participation in a wide range of professional associations and activities.
The Center's priority is enhancing its services to the Museum and the public through greater access to collections information. The Center also expects to increase its use of information technology to improve the efficiency of its internal operations. The Curator will play a leadership role in managing the Center's web pages, enhancing and maintaining its digital assets, and increasing access to collections and collections information. Archives Center staff and other Museum colleagues and Center volunteers and interns will look to the Curator for advice, guidelines, training, and continuing education in the rapidly changing field of cultural information management. The Curator also will play a liaison role in information technology issues with colleagues throughout the Museum and across the Smithsonian Institution.
