Based out of the Connecticut State Library (CSL), the Project Archivist will assist with a National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) grant. This is a 40 hour per week, full time contracted position, with a projected start date of April 3, 2023 and projected end date of October 31, 2024. Compensation will depend upon experience and shall not exceed $300,000 over 18 months. Benefits are not included.
The "Archives Connection System: Planning to Preserve Connecticut's Digital Government History" project consists of two parts. The first part seeks to collect data on other available digital preservation repository systems' capability to sequester and preserve restricted records and to research other potential systems. This research will be the foundation for developing a plan and issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for future funding requests for a secured digital repository. The Project Archivist will be responsible for this part of the project. The second part, which does not include the Project Archivist, expands and improves the automatic digital connection system required to transfer essential long-term and historically significant digital records from state agencies to a digital repository certified as meeting digital preservation standards, currently the Connecticut Digital Archive (CTDA).
