The Managing Archivist will be responsible for managing and providing access to JHSGNH’s archival, library, and museum collections, as well as implementing new professional standards and practices. This may include expansion of a recently adopted collection management system and digital collections platform (CollectiveAccess / Connecticut Collections), updating policies and protocols around acquisition, cataloging, and digitization. Among the key projects will be implementation of a digital preservation system, resuming collection of oral histories and acquiring the archives of Congregation B’nai Jacob, the oldest Eastern European congregation in New Haven. The Managing Archivist will help with reference requests, co-manage JHSGNH’s electronic communications, social media, and website, contribute to monthly and annual programs, and assist with exhibit curation and grant writing. Other duties may be assigned. The Managing Archivist is supported by a Research Archivist, Technical Assistant, volunteers, and interns. JHSGNH regularly collaborates with other member societies of the Ethnic Heritage Center, the New Haven Museum, Southern Connecticut State University’s Buley Library Special Collections and Archives, and other Jewish historical societies in Connecticut.
