    Description and Duties: We are recruiting two Digitization Technicians (contract) to join our on-site team at the Library and Archives Canada facility at 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa.

    - Detail-oriented with a careful, methodical approach to hands-on work
    - A genuine interest in photography, archival collections, or Canadian history is a strong asset — the collections being handled are historically significant, and technicians who appreciate what they are working with consistently produce the best results
    - Comfortable working with computers and digital file management systems; able to follow IT security and data handling procedures consistently and without exception
    - Comfortable working in close proximity to monolight studio flash equipment operated continuously throughout the working day
    - Comfortable working with historical and fragile materials in a structured environment
    - Reliable, punctual, and able to maintain consistent production pace throughout a working day
    - Previous experience in archival, photographic, or digitization work is an asset — full training is provided by ARKIV 360 and no prior experience with our systems is required
