Project Archivist

HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WESTERN PENNS

Project Archivist

The Senator John Heinz History Center is a Smithsonian-affiliated Museum and a first-day Pittsburgh attraction that presents compelling stories from American history with a Western Pennsylvania connection, all in an interactive and engaging environment for visitors of all ages. The largest history museum in Pennsylvania, the AAM-accredited History Center attracts large and diverse audiences to its 370,000-square-foot facility in Pittsburgh's historic Strip District that includes six floors of long-term and changing exhibition space along with spectacular spaces for unique events.

The History Center's family of museums includes the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, a dynamic museum-within-a-museum; the Fort Pitt Museum in Point State Park; and Meadowcroft Rockshelter & Historic Village, a National Historic Landmark located in Avella, Washington County, Pa. The History Center also leads a partnership of more than 125 regional historical societies, museums, and organizations dedicated to preserving local history – the History Center Affiliates Program.

A popular destination for families and visitors to our region, the History Center attracts more than 250,000 visitors annually and reaches millions through virtual programs and digital outreach. The History Center was recently recognized as America's #1 History Museum by USA TODAY and "Pittsburgh's Best Museum" by Pittsburgh Magazine.

The Heinz History Center seeks a temporary, full-time Project Archivist to process the archives of the author David McCullough, the papers of lawyer and Major League baseball executive Larry Lucchino, and other recent acquisitions of strategic importance. As a member of the Library & Archives team, the Project Archivist processes collections according to professional archival standards, develops catalog records and finding aids, digitizes select items, and creates metadata. The archivist also contributes to occasional reference, research, and outreach related to these collections. This is a temporary, full-time position funded for up to three years.

This is a full-time, temporary, salaried/ non-exempt position that reports to the Director of the Detre Library & Archives.

  • A master's degree in library and information science (MLIS) with an emphasis on archival management preferred, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Subject area expertise or educational background in U.S. history. Familiarity with sports history.
  • Experience with processing and digitizing archival material.
  • Familiarity with ArchivesSpace and library and archival standards, including DACS, EAD, MARC, LCSH, and Dublin Core.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication, customer service, research, project management, and task prioritization skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
  • Knowledge of library and archives concepts, standards, and best practices.
