Digital Archivist

In accordance with the mission of Syracuse University Libraries (SUL) and the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC), the Digital Archivist helps collect, accession, process, preserve, and provide access to born-digital materials documenting the history of Syracuse University and our global society.

Reporting to SCRC's Lead Archivist, the Digital Archivist works with SCRC and Department of Digital Stewardship (DDS) to develop and implement policies, standards, and procedures supporting the acquisition, processing, and creation of access to born-digital materials in SCRC collections. Materials may include email, web content, and born-digital files extracted from legacy physical media. Following best practices, the Digital Archivist advises and assists with the acquisition of born-digital materials, processes and describes them, and collaborates with SCRC and DDS staff to make them available for research and classroom use. The Digital Archivist works directly with the Digital Preservation Librarian, who ensures that SCRC's digital content is securely maintained and persistent, safeguarding long-term access to and authenticity of born-digital assets. The Digital Archivist also plays a key role in applying a reparative framework to the acquisition and description of born-digital materials.
