    Description and Duties    

    OSU Libraries and Press is seeking a Head of Archival Processing. This is a full-time (1.0 FTE), 12-month, professional faculty position.

    The Head of Archival Processing is a Professional Faculty position within the OSU Libraries' Special Collections and Archives Research Center (SCARC) and reports to the Department Head. The Head of Archival Processing's primary responsibility is the oversight and project management of archival arrangement and description, in addition to overseeing collection maintenance for archival materials. The Head of Archival Processing fosters a culture of ethical, sustainable, and service-oriented stewardship of SCARC's resources. The Head of Archival Processing supervises two faculty members, the Collections Archivist and the University Records Manager, and may be asked to represent SCARC on the Department Head's behalf.

    As the repository for and steward of the OSU Libraries' rare and unique materials, SCARC builds distinctive collections in five signature areas: natural resources, the history of science, university history, Oregon's hops and brewing history, and Oregon's multicultural communities. These collections encompass manuscripts, archives, rare books, oral histories, photographs, ephemera, audio/visual materials, and electronic records. SCARC makes these resources available to the OSU community, Oregonians, and the larger community of scholars and independent researchers, and provides opportunities for teaching, inquiry, and learning.

    Primary Assignment (90%)

    OSULP faculty work strategically to support research and creativity, enhance learning and build community for the students, faculty and staff of Oregon State and for the citizens of Oregon. Their work has a demonstrable impact on the three main pillars of OSU's mission: teaching and learning, research and inquiry, and outreach and engagement. OSU faculty apply specialized expertise from library and information science, archival studies, and related fields to ensure that the Oregon State community has rich, organized, affordable, accessible and inclusive information resources to help the OSU community learn new things, solve difficult problems, investigate important questions, and create knowledge. They also work to create or support the administrative and physical infrastructure that enables delivery of high-quality information services. OSU faculty support the educational mission of the university, both directly and indirectly, by building the dynamic, engaging collections, services, and spaces that foster independent inquiry and learning, and by creating experiential or other learning experiences. They develop and nurture relationships with colleagues, inside the library and out, to support and enrich their work and they participate in the shared governance of OSULP and OSU. They strive to understand the diverse communities they serve, and work to make OSULP an inclusive, just organization. To support all of this, OSULP faculty engage in regular, critical reflection on practice to understand the impact of their work and to dismantle harmful assumptions.

    OSULP professional faculty are expected to focus between 80-90 percent of their FTE on performance in their primary assignment. Performance in the primary assignment is evaluated annually in a structured, reflective conversation between the faculty member and their direct supervisor.

    Specific duties and expectations for the Head of Archival Processing include:

    Project Management of Archival Processing: 70%

    • Directs SCARC's arrangement and description activities, setting high standards in keeping with professional best practices.

    • Stays abreast of standards and best practices for equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism (EDIAR) in the description of archival collections, especially of under-represented and marginalized individuals and communities, and implements concrete action items into SCARC's arrangement and description work.
    • Coordinates the final review and promotion of newly completed SCARC finding aids; submits new and updated finding aids to the Archives West database
    • Collaborates with SCARC colleagues and the OSULP Digital Preservation Group to set policies and procedures for long-term preservation and access to records in all formats
    • Directs the Collection Archivist's collection maintenance work in SCARC's 3rd floor archival storage stacks and assists with weeding, shifting, space management, and updating shelf list inventories in a supervisory capacity. Oversees collection maintenance work conducted by the University Records Manager within the OSU Records Centers and assists with planning for a new record center location.
    • Assists the Digital Collections and Metadata Archivist with SCARC's transition to ArchivesSpace as a member of the implementation team.

    • In collaboration with Archival Processing Unit, hires, trains, and mentors undergraduate and graduate students working as student employees and interns engaged in archival arrangement and description.

    Professional Activity (10%)

    Professional activity is an important professional value in libraries and archives. OSULP faculty serve as engaged participants in the shared work of the Libraries and Press and in the shared governance of Oregon State University. As faculty members at a land grant university, they engage in professional activity to shape and strengthen their skills and the library and archival professions in Oregon and beyond, and to benefit the citizens of Oregon. Professional activity is usually closely aligned with daily practice in the primary assignment, and should allow the faculty member to: 1) enhance their professional skill set; 2) share the expertise developed through their practice with colleagues in the library, on campus, and throughout their professional communities; and 3) engage in conversations and contribute to projects that will inform and enrich their practice. OSULP faculty may, from time to time, undertake professional activity that does not directly align with their primary assignment but that does tap an area of interest or expertise or willingness that they possess; these commitments, however, should not dominate their service portfolio.

    OSULP professional faculty are expected to focus between 10 and 20 percent of their FTE on professional activity. They should be able to demonstrate the impact of their work on both personal and institutional levels.

    The specific duties and expectations for the Head of Archival Processing include:
