Job DescriptionJob DescriptionDescriptionOverview
Founded in 1895, the New York Public Library stewards collections on behalf of the public. It is committed to the preservation of these resources, in both their original formats and as representations derived from those formats.
The Library seeks a system-minded, collaborative person to serve as a Digital Repository Coordinator. As part of the library’s Digital Preservation program, the Digital Repository Coordinator leads the technical effort to migrate digital collections from all of the Library’s born-digital acquisition and digitization programs into its digital repository. They also administer the digital repository software and manage the long-term preservation of files within.
The successful candidate will work closely with four groups of stakeholders: the Research Libraries’ collection digitization and born-digital acquisition programs which produce packages of files to be ingested, the Library’s IT group which resolves infrastructure challenges for on-site and cloud-based storage, the Library's processing teams which produce descriptions of files, and the Library’s Digital division which builds and maintains integrations between the repository and other Library systems.
We are looking for someone we can count on to:
Own:
  • Daily ingest of digital collections to NYPL's Preservica Instance
  • Documentation of ingest requirements, running ingest, managing Preservica, and access collections from Preservica
  • Discovery and management of digital collections that have not been ingested

  • Digitization and acquisition staff how to package files for ingest to Preservica and how to address inconsistencies
  • Digital and collections staff how to find and access files from Preservica and how to request new representations

  • The Digital Preservation department's approach to documentation and Python script authoring
  • The Library's approach to digital collection workflows
  • How to use command-line applications such as MediaConch, MediaInfo, rclone, rsync, git, tmux, and bagit-python
  • How to analyze file formats in order to develop new PRONOM signatures and develop new migration pathways

  • Communication strategies to inform stakeholders about repository contents and usage
