Job Description (if URL to posting not available). Include instructions for how to apply.:
The Connecticut State Library (CSL) seeks an Information Management Consultant to assist with a federally funded digital records preservation project. This is a part-time 10 to 20 hours per week contract position, with a projected start date of July 1, 2023 and projected end date of June 30, 2024 with the possibility of a 12 month renewal. Most of the work can be completed remotely with the possibility of a few on-site visits. Compensation is $150 per hour. Benefits are not included.
Funded through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the “Archives Connection System: Planning to Preserve Connecticut’s Digital Government History” project consists of two parts. The Consultant will be responsible for the first part of the project: researching potential digital preservation repository systems and collecting data on their capability to sequester and preserve restricted digital records. 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 second part, on which the Consultant may be asked to contribute research, analysis, or feedback, 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).
