The University of Minnesota Libraries invites applications for the position of Project Specialist for Community Celebration of Place: Intergenerational, cross-cultural histories from the Larry Long papers. Reporting to the Head of Archival Processing in close collaboration with Head of Digital Library Services and Performing Arts Archive Curator, the Project Specialist will utilize “slow processing” techniques to process, prepare for digitization, describe, and promote access to the Larry Long Papers, the complete archive of folk artist Larry Long, whose multi-decade career features oral history and folk recording work with rural, working-class and urban communities and neighborhoods across the United States. This is a grant-funded position generously funded by the Council of Library and Information Resources (CLIR)’s Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives program. This position provides significant opportunity to describe and promote access to material documenting the histories of underrepresented and marginalized groups as well as collaborate directly with community elders in active memory making and curatorial participation.
